Our Innovation
Animal health has untapped innovation potential. Only a few companies have the capability to develop and get approval for new, breakthrough innovations and then get them into the hands of farmers, veterinarians and pet owners around the world. At Elanco, we’re one of those few companies.
Through a collaborative effort of Research and Development (R&D) and Manufacturing and Quality (M&Q) all the way through our sales and commercial teams, we are focused on delivering a consistent flow of high-impact innovation that builds upon our robust product portfolio.
Innovation Process
Innovation thrives when R&D and M&Q work hand-in-hand. This collaborative partnership is the bedrock of our approach, allowing us to deliver a consistent flow of high-impact innovation to key markets around the world.
Our dedication to scientific excellence is evident in our robust global network. With 17 dedicated manufacturing sites and a diverse portfolio of 11,000 SKUs, we bring groundbreaking R&D innovation to life. We understand the importance of speed and efficiency, which is why we have implemented pilot plants with manufacturing capabilities for key platforms. This approach allows us to accelerate the innovation process, ensuring timely delivery of solutions to our customers.
Innovation Partner of Choice
Our commitment to delivering high-quality products extends beyond our walls. We seek to be an innovator’s partner of choice with the right capabilities they might need at whatever stage they might need it, bringing a product from idea to commercialization. From our Pre-clinical Research capabilities to our deep Drug Development and Regulatory expertise, we are positioned to advance your innovative idea, platform, or molecule towards licensure. We also collaborate with approximately 250 external manufacturing partners, leveraging their expertise and capabilities to expand our global reach. This strategic network enables us to navigate the complexities of the regulatory landscape, bringing products to market that make a real, impactful difference in the lives of animals and the people who care for them.

One Health Innovation District
Creating the right ecosystem to nourish innovation is critical. That’s why we’re excited to be a founding partner of the One Health Innovation District, a globally recognized research innovation district dedicated to optimizing the health of people, animals, plants and the planet in partnership with Purdue University.
For life-changing innovations to move from idea to reality, they must be given the right environment to thrive. Here, research interests will include understanding of the microbiome, antimicrobial resistance, computational biology, comparative genomics and more. No other place in the country offers all that the One Health District and Animal Health Epicenter will offer, helping researchers bring innovation from concept to reality. As one of the few companies with the ability to reach the world’s animals, we will be the catalyst with a share of voice on the ground in countries across the globe to deliver products into commercialization and to the customer.
