HekaBio

HekaBio is a healthcare platform that in-licenses and commercializes a portfolio of healthcare innovations, with a focus on cardiology, neurology, and oncology. The company's business model is asset-light, meaning it partners with originators of medical assets to bring them to market in Japan and the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region, rather than developing them in-house from scratch. HekaBio reviews hundreds of opportunities annually to select de-risked assets for its portfolio.

The company makes money by commercializing these healthcare solutions in the Japanese and APAC markets. Its target clients are the patients who benefit from the advanced medical treatments and technologies. HekaBio operates in the healthcare sector, specifically in the biopharmaceutical and medical technology markets of Japan, the world's third-largest healthcare market, and the broader APAC region.

Recent developments include a strategic partnership with Alfresa Holdings Corporation and a JPY 400 million financing round to expand its portfolio of innovations. These moves are aimed at strengthening the company's ability to accelerate patient access to global medicines and MedTech.
