Controlant taps into Denmark’s life science ecosystem
Controlant is a global leader in tackling the issue of waste in the pharma supply chain, with headquarters in Iceland. Up to 30 percent of all medicines and vaccines are wasted alongside the transportation and storage of the medicine. This leaves a bigger carbon footprint than the automobile industry.
The transported medicines and vaccines are sensitive and must be both monitored and tracked throughout the entire supply chain. To ensure patient safety, quality cannot be compromised. Controlant’s solutions, including its software platform, advanced IoT devices, and dedicated services equip pharma companies as well as logistics providers to monitor the conditions including temperature, and locations of the products as they make their way from production to patients. Controlant is working with some of the world’s largest pharma companies to reduce waste and create more sustainable and healthier pharma supply chains.
Why Denmark?
Controlant chose Denmark as a location to establish their European office. To support the rapid growth journey that Controlant is on and accelerate global expansion, they need to access a large pool of skilled professionals while also being closer to their customers. The life science ecosystem in Denmark provides an opportunity to fulfill both of those needs.
Controlant states that they feel at home in Denmark, which they attribute to Denmark matching their company’s sustainability focus. Denmark’s great sustainability focus including the issue of dealing with critical supply chains, supports Controlant’s mission of safely and sustainably and delivering medicines and vaccines to patients all over the world to improve their lives.
