Driving the research of today to reinvent the health of tomorrow
In 2023, the Servier Research and Development Institute opened its doors in the cross-disciplinary innovation hub at Paris-Saclay. In a few years’ time, this scientific hub of excellence will be home to nearly 25% of all scientific research activities in France.
The idea is that Servier will be able to develop a more agile and open approach to R&D that centers even more closely around the patient to speed up the discovery of innovative therapeutic solutions.
The overriding aim of our R&D Institute at Paris-Saclay is to combine the Group’s innovation potential with a powerful ecosystem and a center of scientific excellence. In choosing to integrate Paris-Saclay, Servier is also helping to drive momentum in the local economy and boosting the profile of French research.
