Last weekend we were nominated "Best Business" and "Innovator of the Year" on a national level and proved that stimulating innovation and revolutionizing the biotechnology industry are goals worth chasing. 

But no business can grow alone.

We owe our success to our exceptional team of scientists, project managers, business developers, finance and logistics experts, and administrative and management professionals. Each member plays a crucial role in our success story, contributing their unique skills and passion to our shared vision.

This win also belongs to our incredible clients, who trust us with their brilliant ideas, allowing us to bring them to life.

As our CEO Mart Ustav noted in his speech, while receiving the award from the President of Estonia, Alar Karis, our ambition knows no bounds. We've always dreamed of being the best in Europe, or even the best in the world. This level of ambition drives us to continuously improve, innovate, and excel in everything we do.

“I’ve never thought that Icosagen would be the best business in Estonia, If we wanted to be the best then maybe in Europe if not in the entire world” - CEO Mart Ustav.

We breathe innovation, dedicating our time and expertise to ensure our operations run seamlessly and our clients achieve outstanding results. Every day, our clients inspire us to push the boundaries of biotechnology, challenging the status quo and exploring new possibilities.

Our ambition is not just a lofty goal; it's a driving force that motivates us to develop cutting-edge technologies, implement innovative problem-solving approaches, and provide exceptional services to our clients. We believe that being the best in what we do is not a destination but a continuous journey, and we have been committed to this path for quite some time.

Our success is deeply rooted in the incredible team we have assembled. We are immensely fortunate to work alongside smart, creative, and dedicated individuals who are not just colleagues but also friends.

We want to make a difference on a global scale. Our daily efforts have a profound impact on the health and lives of many people, as the drug candidates we work on have the potential to improve the health of millions.

But remember, this is just the beginning. We are committed to pushing the boundaries of innovation, exploring new horizons, and making a positive impact on the world.

With trust and our determination, there's no limit to what we can achieve together.
