Takeda is a global, values-based, R&D-driven biopharmaceutical company with an unwavering commitment to bringing Better Health and a Brighter Future to people around the world.

Our values guide everything we do – as they have done since our creation in 1781. We put the Patient at the center; build Trust with society; reinforce our Reputation; and develop the Business – in that order.

Headquartered in Japan, with employees in around 80 countries, we foster an inclusive, safe and stimulating working environment that empowers people to make decisions locally and gives them many opportunities to learn and grow.

Our world-class R&D engine is generating a number of innovative medicines that have the potential to be best-in-class or first-in-class. We focus on four core therapeutic areas: Oncology, Rare Diseases, Gastroenterology and Neuroscience. As our pipeline continues to advance, we’ll see a natural progression toward a greater contribution of the Immuno-oncology and Rare Diseases pipeline.

We make targeted investments in Plasma-Derived Therapies and Vaccines and actively engage and collaborate with innovation ecosystems around the world. We are sustaining sales growth through our existing global portfolio, which spans five business areas - Oncology, Rare Diseases, Gastroenterology, Neuroscience and Plasma-Derived Therapies.
