The Finom Management Group and its preceeding companies Assign Group and ABF Pharmaceutical Services, had been founded in 2003 and 2005. Since then, we have been deeply involved in the processes and complexities of pharmaceutical drug research and development from a big pharma perspective, from a biotechnologies viewpoint to academic research.
In the world of business,

Our method
We understand the challenges that you face every day…because we have been there.
After analyzing a situation, we will help you to identify the optimal method of creating value for your products and technology on a scientific and on a business level – which can be very often a challenging task for small to medium sized companies due to a lack of resources or funding.
We operate from an entrepreneur’s perspective: one shot to get the alignment of business right. We earned credibility with customers and added momentum to investors and management.
We have observed that in today’s marketplace, good ideas, good technologies, promising compounds and good products have their highest value when they are able to find their niche quickly. This can be done via an efficient, cost- effective, and value-realizing route to market.
Based on the analysis, priorities are established and applied in the real world – we do not just talk and write, we will put our hands to the wheel.
