Sobi Culture
At Sobi, we refuse to accept the status quo. This is because we have witnessed first-hand the challenges facing those affected by rare diseases and have used this knowledge to shape our business to find new ways of helping them.
As a specialized biopharmaceutical company, we are dedicated to rare diseases. And we see this focus as a strength. By effectively turning our research into ground-breaking treatments, we help make medicine more accessible and open more possibilities for patients and more opportunities for those caring for them.

Together, we define how our business can create solutions that serve the needs of those affected by rare diseases while facilitating sustainable growth.
