Nestlé Health Science has been established to pioneer science-based nutritional solutions in order to deliver improved personalised healthcare for medical conditions. In the longer term, the company aims to use nutritional solutions to change the healthcare paradigm and deliver affordable and effective health benefits which are also safe and sustainable. The company intends to use Nestlé’s existing HealthCare Nutrition business to build a leading health science nutrition organisation within two years. It aims to develop a product portfolio and pipeline within five years and establish market leadership, meeting its vision, within a decade from start-up. The company has access to external scientific and technological know-how through Nestlé’s innovation network as well as a number of venture capital funds in which the group has interests.
