ICON Plc, a well-known outsourcing services vendor to the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device industries is expanding its presence in the Asia Pacific region. Its most recent expansions include Seoul, Korea, and Singapore. The latest development is their new office in Manila, Philippines.
ICON’s CEO Peter Gray said, “With over 800 employees in 14 Asia-Pac countries and 13 years of successful operations in the region, Asia-Pacific is a key market for ICON. Philippines’ large population, coupled with the country’s well-established network of hospitals, physicians and investigators has made it an attractive location for our clients, and one which we have supported for a number of years through home-based employees. Investing in local support and infrastructure through the office in Manila will ensure that we can support future client demand as they increasingly look to include Asia in their drug development programs.”
