Leo Pharma absorbs scrapped innovation hubs to streamline focus

Leo Pharma’s decision to integrate three previously external innovation hubs in Boston, Tokyo and Shanghai stems from a wish to bring activities closer to its own R&D division. According to Head of R&D Jörg Möller, the company is now only betting in areas where it has a competitive edge and can win.
