The animal health sector is adapting to a rapidly changing and increasingly complex environment: new pathologies, growing regulatory requirements, technological complexity, and pressure on time-to-market.
Faced with these challenges, the goal is no longer limited to individual internal capabilities; it is now about selecting the best scientific expertise and combining it with the specific expertise of the CDMO and its client.
To offer solutions that quickly meet market expectations, success relies on creating targeted synergies and expanded strategic partnerships.
It is in this context that AB7 offers a new CXDMO approach.
Why the CXDMO model?
A CDMO traditionally supports its clients in the development, formulation, industrialization, and manufacturing of a specific product.
The CXDMO goes further : it connects AB7’s internal expertise with that of technology and commercial partners to build innovative, custom, and market-ready solutions.
The "X" adds three new dimensions to the classic CDMO offering:
eXtended — Expanding the ecosystem
Leverage expert partners and complementary skills to enhance R&D capabilities and unlock new technical solutions.
Cross-innovation — Connecting expertise
Combine external innovations with AB7 know-how to transform technologies into concrete, compliant, and scalable solutions.
eXpectation — Meeting needs
Build custom solutions tailored to the specific challenges of each project and market expectations.
The three pillars of the CXDMO model
The CXDMO model relies on the synergy of three key players:
1. Technology partners
Academic partners, biotechs, start-ups, and industrial specialists provide cutting-edge technologies and high-value innovations that have already been validated at the experimental stage (proof of concept) and are supported by preliminary efficacy and safety data.
2. AB7
AB7 acts as the orchestrator, bridging the gap between breakthrough technology and the market. We select innovations with genuine potential for animal health that align perfectly with our expertise and scope. We then leverage our know-how in galenics, regulatory affairs, and industrialization to transform these technologies into regulatory-compliant, production-ready solutions.
3. Distributors and commercial partners
Veterinary laboratories and distribution players provide market knowledge, therapeutic expertise, commercial know-how, and mastery of distribution networks. Their collaboration with AB7 enables the development and commercialization of innovative, differentiating veterinary solutions while optimizing project management and accelerating time-to-market.
Benefits for partners
For technology partners
Broaden the range of applications and secure a market outlet.
AB7 provides the R&D expertise tailored to animal health, galenic mastery, and the industrial know-how required to turn a promising innovation into a market-ready solution.
For commercial partners
Access differentiating, turnkey solutions
AB7 orchestrates the entire validation and decision-making chain, from selecting promising technologies to their industrialization, to provide distributors and laboratories with turnkey solutions tailored to market needs.
For all stakeholders
More synergy. More agility. More possibilities.
By connecting top-tier expertise around a single project, the CXDMO facilitates communication, accelerates development, and allows for the anticipation of industrial and regulatory constraints from the very first stages.
A new way to drive innovation forward
With the CXDMO, AB7 is evolving its role from developer and manufacturer to orchestrator of collaborative innovation in animal health.
