Comparison with competitive field

RIBOPRO uniquely operates at the cross-section of the contract drug manufacturing (CDMO) and technology provider fields. Therefore, we monitor market developments, and from time to time compare our performance/offering with competitors in both fields.

Below, we compare ourselves to the generalized competitor profiles from both fields to highlight the unique benefits that RIBOPRO can offer to customers by bringing both services under 1 roof. Of course, a more detailed competitor analysis is available upon request.

Manufacturing only

CDMO

Focus on large-scale manufacturing sites with end-to-end mfg. Although beneficial for commercial and pandemic situations, these sites struggle to serve customers at the R&D-stage.

  • Large scale manufacturing
  • End-to-end manufacturing
Knowledge, tech & mfg.

RIBOPRO

RIBOPRO is unique in its deep knowledge of mRNA and delivery, having its own patented technologies, and offering those technologies to the market in an one-stop-shop combination with state-of-the-art manufacturing.

  • One-stop-shop
  • Patented technologies
  • R&D and GMP-grade mfg.
  • Scalable manufacturing
  • Short-term revenue from mfg
  • Long-term licensing revenue
Technology only

Tech provider

Providing specialized technologies, e.g. ionizable lipids for LNP. mRNA medicines consist of multiple components, thus requiring multiple licenses/partners to complete a product.

  • Expertise at single technology
  • Exclusive licensing possible

The combination of low-risk income from manufacturing activities, with high-gain opportunities from licensing make RIBOPRO an attractive investment
