Who we are

AxTalis is a team of dedicated professionals to support or integrate with your Market Acces or Medical Affairs team. Having collaborated with biotech companies, start-ups & universities, we bring industry experience in Commercial, Marketing, Access, Medical Affairs and Research.

As the complexity of the environment increases, Medical Affairs and Market Access functions are working closer together than ever to face the challenges of obtaining and sustaining the right price and conditions for therapeutics. Companies often lack the manpower or are unable to prioritise this process, even though it lays the basis for commercialisation for years to come.

AxTalis was created to support companies by offering a dedicated cross-functional team as-a-service. This team combines the clinical and economic viewpoints and works closely with our clients for preparation, implementation and follow-up of the access and launch strategy.
