About the deal

Capitalmind Investec acted as exclusive financial advisor to IntiQuan on the sale to ProductLife Group (PLG)

PLG is a global leader in regulatory, scientific, compliance, and digital transformation consulting services for the life sciences industry.

Founded in Switzerland in 2015 by Dr. Henning Schmidt, IntiQuan has rapidly established itself as a trusted provider of cutting-edge pharmacometric and statistical modelling & simulation services. The acquisition expands PLG’s portfolio of specialized solutions that support biopharmaceutical companies with drug development, adding a key set of capabilities focused on significantly reducing development risk, costs and timelines and enhancing patient safety through advanced dose-response analyses and predictive safety profiling.

With the addition of IntiQuan, PLG is now in a position to offer customers cutting-edge pharmacometrics services that include strategic consulting, pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics (PK/PD), population pharmacokinetics (popPK), and biosimulation services. IntiQuan is renowned for its track record of translating complex data into actionable insights across a range of therapeutic areas and modalities from pre-clinical to Phase IV.  Its team of scientific experts leverages advanced mathematical modeling and simulation techniques to inform clinical study design as well as analyze and predict trial outcomes.

This acquisition represents the next step in PLG’s strategy to create a fully integrated global platform. With further expansions planned across the US and European markets, PLG is well on its way to becoming a leading global provider of comprehensive drug development services.
