It is important for us to collaborate
Throughout our history, and increasingly so, our products have been developed through collaborations with our customers, other companies, or universities. In fact, this strategy has ensured that our products not only have a high technology content but are also designed to meet important market needs.

We see no contradiction in being both profitable and transparent. On the contrary, we believe it is im-portant to listen to the issues being raised around us in order for us to embrace new ideas and new opportunities.

Why collaborate with us
There are many reasons why you should consider collaborating with us, irrespective of whether you are a current or potential customer, whether you are working in a completely different field, or whether you are at a university or somewhere else:

• you can access our extensive R&D resources around the world;

• you can access our pilot plants that take new technology into large-scale production;

• throughout our organization we focus on high quality;

• we have a long track-record of commercially successful collaborations;

• it is important to us to maintain our rep utation as an open and honest collaboration partner.

We also collaborate outside the enzyme area
At Novozymes we have developed a unique palette of Technologies for understanding and manipulating biological systems.

We apply these technologies in R&D partnerships, including those outside our current businesses. We are actively seeking new partnerships where our technology base can be put to use outside the field of industrial enzymes, particularly in the fields of chemical, agricultural and pharmaceutical products derived from biotechnology.

The technologies that can be made available through partnerships include:

• gene discovery, cloning, and sequencing

• expression profiling and DNA arraying

• low allergenic technologies

• man-made diversity of genes

• high-throughput screening of protein functionality

• gene expression in gene libraries and for production of gene products or metabolites.

Further, the Technologies available page gives you a good idea of the technologies we offer for licensing.

We have extensive collaboration experience
We are currently involved in a full range of R&D partnerships: agreements with a single group of scientists at a university; strategic collaborations with large companies; and collaboration in large global networks involving many partners. The following are just a few examples to give an idea of the large variety of collaborations in which we participate.
