Changing the World with Innovation

Pfizer is a pharmaceutical company with a strong pedigree in medical research and the development of new drugs. Since our journey began in 1849, we have always been committed to finding innovations that help people. Our research and development team has helped the world discover some of the most important medicines to date. Our innovations have helped treat and prevent diseases for millions of patients in Hong Kong and the rest of the world.  

In the 1940s, Pfizer’s successful efforts to mass-produce penicillin marked the beginning of the antibiotics age and innovated new treatments for various types of infections¹. Many of today’s most important medicines and drugs find their roots in Pfizer’s research and development efforts.  

During the global pandemic, Pfizer’s medicines and vaccines have reached an estimated 1.4 billion patients in 2021. Alongside other leading pharmaceutical companies and the larger science and medical community, Pfizer has played a crucial role in the research and development of COVID-19 vaccines, and led the combat against one of the largest pandemics in history. With 25,000 clinical researchers testing every day and cutting-edge innovations, our science holds the cure.
