Driving more efficient and accelerated results from pre-clinical trials to commercialisation of new therapies for Australian, European and U.S. firms.
The full innovation journey offering for Biointelect, a strategic life science consulting company, and CR2O, a leading contract research organisation, has reached new heights, with Australian, European and U.S. clients now able to tap into world-class strategic advice and full-service clinical trial capabilities following the announcement of Biointelect’s and CR2O’s new strategic partnership.
Biointelect and CR2O will work to provide our clients solutions across geographical boundaries and rapidly navigate an increasingly complex regulatory, access, policy and clinical landscape. Based in the Netherlands, CR2O is expanding Biointelect’s existing capability to include clinical trial capabilities across the European Union and Australia. The partnership will give CR2O access to Biointelect’s strategic product development consultancy and commercialisation capabilities.
The transformational move puts Biointelect and CR2O at the forefront for providing world-class innovative end-to-end commercialisation solutions to streamline project work across every phase of the development cycle.

Trusted connections
The strategic partnership harnesses the deep insights, ground support and local presence of both CR2O and Biointelect for Australian, European and U.S. clients across the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries.
Core to the advancement strategy is an understanding of the macroeconomic and geopolitical tensions that often impact the sector, to deliver fit-for-purpose clinical development solutions that de-risk the pathway to patient care settings.

With a synergy in values underpinning the partnership’s success, both will leverage their proven track records to continue a trajectory of bringing life science innovations to market.
