At ICON we have built our reputation on enduring partnerships that are driven to advance medicine and make a difference in the world. Since our inception in 1990 we’ve strived to work as a ‘trusted partner’ to our clients, collaborating, innovating and finding new ways together to improve outcomes. It’s been the lifeblood of our business and the vision that has shaped our strategy more than any other.

Applied Innovation
Innovation at ICON is focused on the factors that are critical to our clients. Our overarching goal is simple; rapid access to, and analysis of, high-quality data to speed up and improve decision-making.
We adopt an integrated approach to identify common drug development problems, leverage process improvement in technology to tackle them and focus on core milestones to measure the impact.
Once proven, we build these innovations into our standard practice and tailor our delivery to meet our customer needs.

- Our solutions are integrated, combine process and technology, and are outcomes focused
- Our solution principles are: common data stream, common platform, common team are ideal, but modular is practical
