Orexo AB (publ.), the fully integrated specialty pharmaceutical company addressing opioid addiction and pain, is today hosting the Company’s Capital Markets Day for investors, analysts and media in Stockholm, Sweden.
Orexo’s management team will expand on new strategic initiatives building upon the Company’s strong financial and operational foundation, primarily driven by the performance for Zubsolv® in the US. The event will highlight the Company’s plans to further strengthen its pipeline and innovative formulation technologies. In addition, management will also elaborate on efforts to broaden the commercial platform to leverage scale and expand sales through business development and potentially M&A transactions.
With a highly positive outcome in the recent patent litigation concerning Zubsolv, Orexo’s core asset has received strengthened IP in the US until 2032. The decision has enabled Orexo to continue with its strategy to maximise Zubsolv´s potential in a fast growing US market. The team will also expand on the latest market trends and demonstrate how it intends to further strengthen its market position.
The event will be moderated by Charlotte Stjerngren, former news anchor for Börslunch, where members of the Orexo management team including among others Nikolaj Sørensen, CEO and President, Robert DeLuca, President US Inc., Johannes Doll, EVP and Head of Corporate Development, and Martin Nicklasson, Chairman of the Board of Directors will be presenting.
