About

Our core ambition is to support our clients by advancing the progress of their drug development projects, and over the past decade, we have grown to a point, where we can offer all the necessary end-to-end expertise and competences to achieve this. It has enabled us to partner with both biotech and pharmaceutical companies and assist them in navigating the drug development process and successfully bring their products to market. Our more than 115 highly-qualified staff, all with industry experience, offer expert consulting and operational services throughout the entire drug development process.

Our solutions span all areas of drug development. No matter your need, or where you are in the drug development process, we can assemble a team of experts appropriate to the task at hand. We can support you by:

  • Providing your organisation with the right expert advice at the right time
  • Being a strategic partner throughout the entire drug development process
  • Being a reliable supplier to take care of all your project needs

Whether your organisation is pressed on time, resources or expertise, we are able to assemble a team of relevant expert consultants to assist you. We strive to build flexible and trust-based partnerships, in which we work as an integrated part of your team to deliver solutions that are not only cost-effective and compliant, but also tailored to your project-specific needs. This approach to working with our clients has deep roots in our core values.

KLIFO has operational site in Copenhagen, Denmark and Munich, Germany.

How we work

Collaboration
At KLIFO we believe in collaboration, both internally among our staff and together with the companies we partner with. Only through collaboration is it possible to foresee and mitigate the many complexities associated with developing a new medical drug or device or bringing products to market.
Flexibility
Each and every drug development process is unique – acknowledging and embracing this is key to successfully bringing a new product to market. At KLIFO our starting point is to always listen to our clients’ needs and aspirations and based on this we can develop customised and efficient solutions.
Trust
The drug development process can take many years and the path can be costly and complex. Yet, at KLIFO we always have confidence in each other’s capacity, and this helps us to stay positive and develop novel solutions, also when faced with a difficult challenge. We have the same approach to working with our clients; building trust-based relationships plays a pivotal role in how we work.
Competence
Each milestone along the drug development journey requires unique skills and special expertise. KLIFO always strives to attract and retain the leading experts from all fields of drug development. We invest in our people and encourage their growth and development, so they can continue to offer the best possible solutions for our clients.
