About Us



We take it one
step further.
AxelaRx is founded on the belief that efforts of Life Sciences and Health (LSH) ventures should know no boundaries. The United States offers European LSH companies many opportunities to grow and accelerate to the market. However, from our hands-on experience with the Life Sciences industry in both the United States and Europe and setting up businesses overseas one thing remains clear: seizing opportunities in the American market remains challenging for most European LSH ventures.
How we take action to achieve your US business goals
Actions speak louder than words. That’s exactly why we provide more than just advice. Our worldwide network of Life Sciences professionals, organizations and partners allow our members to act on their US business goals. Cause in the end realizing the American dream is based on doing. Not talking. And that is exactly what we excel at.
We transform obstacles into opportunities
We are a firm believer that every challenge can be transformed into an opportunity. That is why our goal is to help you transform these challenges into successes. We help you to set up your venture, accelerate your operations and/or do business in the United States by providing you with the right expertise and network.
