Chugai Building On Roche Alliance Success As It Eyes Future: CEO Okuda

Digital Strategy Now In Focus

In an exclusive interview with Scrip, Chugai's CEO says the now 20-year-old strategic partnership with Roche has been one of the keys to Chugai’s successful growth and has allowed smooth market expansion for both firms, as well as enabling R&D investment by the Japanese firm. A flexible, platform-based approach to R&D, rather than focusing on specific target diseases or technologies, has also benefitted Chugai, Osamu Okuda noted.

Dr. Osamu Okuda, CEO of Chugai, explained Chugai's strategy behind its flexible R&D attitude.
