24 January 2025

Spreading its geographic wings further, in the face of ongoing difficulties in China, UK pharma major AstraZeneca (LSE: AZN) has announced a C$820 million (US$570 million) investment in Canada, creating more than 700 high-skilled jobs, across all areas of the business.

AstraZeneca noted that the investment will support the move to a larger, state-of-the-art office facility in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), Ontario.

New investment in Canada will contribute to AstraZeneca’s global ambition to achieve $80 billion in total revenue and to bring 20 new medicines to patients around the world by 2030 of which eight new medicines have been delivered to date. The company also expects seven first Phase III clinical trial data readouts in 2025.
