BioNTech fortsætter fokus på mRNA efter stifternes exit

Mainz-virksomheden har truffet sin første strategiske beslutning efter stifternes afgang og fastholder mRNA-teknologien.

Efter sine stifteres afgang har BioNTech taget et vigtigt strategisk skridt. Virksomheden vil fortsat fokusere på mRNA, den teknologi, der gjorde den verdenskendt gennem sin coronavaccine. Flere personer med kendskab til sagen har bekræftet beslutningen. Det forventes, at hundredvis af medarbejdere flytter til et nyt firma med tilknytning til stifterne. Detaljer om, hvilke forskningsområder der forbliver hos BioNTech, og hvilke der overdrages til stifterne, indgår i adskillelsesplanen. Rapporten stammer fra München og er baseret på oplysninger, som Handelsblatt er i besiddelse af.
