麻薩諸塞州劍橋, 2023年5月3日 - (亞太商訊) - Moderna, Inc. (NASDAQ:MRNA), a biotechnology company pioneering messenger RNA (mRNA) therapeutics and vaccines, today announced plans to establish an Enterprise Solutions Hub in the Philippines. The Moderna Enterprise Solutions Hub will provide business services across the Asia Pacific region, where Moderna currently has operations in six markets. Moderna also plans to establish commercial operations in the Philippines.
"We are pleased to expand our footprint into the Philipines by establishing an Enterprise Solutions Hub and commercial operations. The Philippines has a critical mix of talent and global business service expertise, which makes it an excellent location to scale efficiently and provide regional support," said Stephane Bancel, Chief Executive Officer of Moderna."The Asia Pacific region is integral to Moderna's business, with established subsidiaries in Australia, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, and Taiwan. We look forward to further solidifying our presence. The addition of the Philippines site completes our strategy to provide regional solutions across the business, complementing our existing locations in Atlanta, Georgia, which services the Americas, and Warsaw, Poland, which covers Europe, the Middle East, and Africa."
"We are very pleased that Moderna has selected the Philippines as the location for its third Enterprise Solutions Hub, serving the Asia Pacific market. We are confident that the Philippines has the talent and the capabilities to support Moderna's operations and drive its expansion throughout the region. The Philippines is well-positioned to host global services and facilities that advance health and pharmaceutical technology. Our partnership with Moderna underscores the Philippines' position in promoting healthcare and addressing emerging health threats. It also highlights Moderna's role in delivering life-saving vaccines during the COVID-19 pandemic and the ability and promise of their mRNA platform," said Jose Manuel G. Romualdez, Ambassador of the Republic of the Philippines to the United States.
Moderna will provide enterprise solutions in the Philippines, similar to its counterparts in Warsaw, Poland, and Atlanta, US, which were established in May 2021 and March 2022, respectively. The Hub will initially house finance, pharmacovigilance, medical, and HR personnel, in addition to commercial-focused roles, to support its direct presence in the market. Moderna will continue to identify opportunities to host additional functions and business services as the Company grows and operations mature. The Company expects to employ approximately 40-50 employees in the Philippines in 2023.
The Moderna Enterprise Solutions Hub Philippines will provide new capabilities, service lines, and capacity to help meet the growth of Moderna's commercial and business operations in the Asia Pacific region. Moderna plans to begin operations in the Philippines in the second/third quarter of 2023.
