Innovation at our core 

Innovation is the driving force behind Orexo’s core mission to save and improve patients’ lives. At every stage of the development process, innovation is embedded and driven by collaboration among experts from different scientific disciplines. This commitment creates the conditions for developing advanced drug‑formulation solutions that address unmet medical needs worldwide.

Orexo’s innovation culture is built on trust, transparency, cross‑functional teamwork, and a willingness to challenge conventional thinking. There is a strong culture of openness to fresh perspectives across every aspect of the
company, from how people collaborate each day to how innovative products are created through a blend of scientific rigor and creativity. Strong internal capabilities are maintained to initiate and manage drug development, while strategic partnerships are embraced where proprietary drug delivery technologies can amplify the impact of others’ APIs.

Delivering value

The innovation-driven approach has resulted in a proven track record of creating proprietary products that deliver significant value to patients and society. To date, Orexo has successfully developed and launched four products: Zubsolv®, Abstral®, Edluar®, and Diabact® – all approved
in multiple markets worldwide, demonstrating the ability to translate scientific insights into tangible outcomes.

Empowering talents

The company’s strength lies in the expertise and passion of its people. Orexo nurtures talent through tailored development plans that encourage continuous learning and growth. The company takes a patient‑centred approach to everything it does, working with agility and simplicity to turn innovation into results.

Structured process for impact

Every idea matters. Concepts are captured and evaluated across the organization, with priority given to those that address critical medical needs and demonstrate technical feasibility, patentability, and commercial potential. This structured yet dynamic process, enabled by cross‑functional collaboration, accelerates the translation of ideas
into impactful solutions.

Sustainability in focus

Innovation at Orexo goes hand in hand with responsibility. In 2025, the Uppsala laboratory achieved My Green Lab certification, a globally recognized standard for sustainable laboratory practices. This milestone reflects our commitment to reducing environmental impact while maintaining scientific excellence. By integrating green
practices into the innovation process, Orexo contributes to a healthier planet while delivering better solutions for patients.
