 AMSTERDAM & ZUG, Switzerland & GDAŃSK, Poland - Tuesday, 02. September 2025 AETOSWire Print 


(BUSINESS WIRE) -- Polpharma Biologics S.A. (“Polpharma Biologics”), specialized in the development and manufacturing of biosimilars, today announced that it has signed licensing agreements with MS Pharma, a leading biosimilar production and distribution company in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, for the commercialization of its biosimilar candidates vedolizumab (PB016), ocrelizumab (PB018) and guselkumab (PB019) in the MENA region.


Under the agreements, MS Pharma will be responsible for the registration, marketing, and distribution of these three biosimilars across MENA, while Polpharma Biologics will maintain responsibility for development, manufacturing, and supply. Furthermore, both Parties have agreed to transfer fill and finish activities to the MENA region. These operations will be carried out at MS Pharma’s first of its kind biologics manufacturing facility in Saudi Arabia.


Vedolizumab is a monoclonal antibody targeting α4β7 integrin (a molecule involved in the movement of immune cells to the gut), indicated for ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease. Ocrelizumab targets CD20-positive B cells, and by depleting them, helps reduce inflammation and slow the progression of disability in people with multiple sclerosis. Guselkumab - monoclonal antibody that selectively binds to the p19 subunit of interleukin-23 (IL-23), a key cytokine involved in inflammatory and immune responses. It is indicated for the treatment of moderate to severe plaque psoriasis and active psoriatic arthritis.


Together, these biosimilars represent significant potential to expand access to high-quality, affordable biologic therapies for patients in the region.


Kalle Känd, CEO of MS Pharma:


"Expanding our biosimilar portfolio in high-need therapeutic areas such as gastroenterology, neurology, and dermatology is a strategic priority. These three products will significantly strengthen our offering and reinforce our leadership in the MENA region. Partnering once again with Polpharma Biologics underscores our commitment to delivering high-quality, accessible biologic medicines to patients across the region, through localizing advanced biologics production."


Konstantin Matentzoglu, Supervisory Board Member of Polpharma Biologics Group:

IFF Tackles Top Challenges in Baking at IBIE 2025

From commodity volatility to new regulations, IFF readies bakers with science-driven innovations and real-world demos.

 

(BUSINESS WIRE)--IFF (NYSE: IFF), a global leader in flavors, fragrances, food ingredients, health and biosciences, will showcase how it is helping the global baking industry overcome some of its toughest challenges at the International Baking Industry Exposition (IBIE) 2025 in Las Vegas. From soaring cocoa and egg prices to stricter regulations and rising demand for healthier baked goods, IFF is stepping forward with bold, science-led solutions designed to keep industrial bakers ahead of the curve.

“The industry is under pressure from every direction — supply chains, regulations and consumer expectations,” said Suzanne Pera, vice president and regional general manager for North America, IFF Food Ingredients. “Our message at IBIE is simple: Bakers don’t have to face these challenges alone. We bring unmatched expertise across the entire process, from formulation to shelf. We’re not just helping bakers adapt — we’re helping them win.”

Addressing the cost of volatility

With cocoa prices doubling and egg supplies remaining strained, IFF CURE™ — a comprehensive suite of Core and Uncommon Replacements and Extenders — offers solutions that maintain taste and texture while reducing reliance on volatile commodities. At the booth, visitors can sample 50 percent egg-reduced cupcakes and 30 percent cocoa-reduced brownies made with proprietary enzyme blends, system blends and natural flavors.

Navigating regulatory shifts

With certain food dyes now banned and the industry reevaluating what quantifies as “healthy,” bakers face increasing reformulation demands. IFF spotlights natural color alternatives, label-friendly hydrocolloids and shelf-life extension solutions that keep products compliant without sacrificing sensory appeal.

Meeting the health-conscious consumer

GLP-1 users are reshaping food and beverage demand, while shoppers broadly seek lower sugar, more protein and label-friendly bakery options. The prototypes reflect how IFF translates consumer and regulatory insights into market-ready products, featuring better-for-you concepts like high-protein tortillas and consumer-validated nutrition bars fortified with SOLAE® SUPRO® soy protein and LITESSE® ULTRA prebiotic fiber.

Breakthrough baking technologies debut

IFF will debut DANISCO® GRINDSTED® Pectin FB 420, a bake-stable pectin made from citrus peels. This naturally sourced, label-friendly alternative to starch enhances flavor release and mouthfeel, while delivering a bright, glossy texture in reduced-sugar bakery applications. Also launching is POWERFRESH® ACE 2000, a next-generation fresh-keeping enzyme that improves bread softness, resilience and cohesiveness for up to 34 days.

“We are not just displaying ingredients,” said Linda Dunning, applications director, North America, IFF Food Ingredients. “We are showing how real-world solutions can raise the game for bakers — ideas that work in the lab, are scalable in production and stand out on the shelf.”

Attendees will experience go-to-market applications, designed to inspire product innovations while solving some of the baking industry’s toughest challenges. IFF will be at IBIE 2025 from Sept. 14-17 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, booth 3855.

Green Finance Tops the Agenda at the World Green Economy Summit 2025

Dubai, United Arab Emirates - Tuesday, 02. September 2025


In light of escalating environmental challenges and the global push to achieve net-zero goals, the 11th World Green Economy Summit (WGES) continues to serve as a vital platform for decision-makers, investors and experts from around the world. This year’s event comes at a critical time as rapid advances in artificial intelligence (AI) and data centres intersects with the urgent need to reshape the future of energy towards more sustainable and efficient alternatives. Sessions will explore financial mechanisms driving the green transition, address challenges in scaling up renewable energy and explore avenues for climate finance.


Held under the patronage of HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, WGES is organised by the Dubai Supreme Council of Energy, Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) and the World Green Economy Organization (WGEO). Each year, the summit addresses key topics related to mobilising global efforts to accelerate the shift towards a green economy, in line with the UN Sustainable Development Goals 2030. The 2025 summit, themed ‘Innovating for Impact: Accelerating the Future of the Green Economy’, will run on 1-2 October at Dubai World Trade Centre.


HE Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, Vice Chairman of the Dubai Supreme Council of Energy, MD&CEO of DEWA and Chairman of WGEO, said: “Global investments in clean technologies, including renewable energy, grids and storage, are projected to exceed USD2.2 trillion in 2025, double the investment in fossil fuels, within a total global investment of USD3.3 trillion. However, developing countries continue to face a significant financing gap, requiring an increase in annual clean energy investments from USD270 billion to approximately USD1.6 trillion by the early 2030s. This underscores the need for innovative international co-ordination to reduce capital costs and mitigate investment risks. The World Green Economy Summit reflects our commitment to supporting global efforts to achieve the transition to a comprehensive and sustainable green economy, based on innovation and effective partnerships, supporting Dubai's position as a global hub for climate action.”


WGES 2025 will focus on removing barriers to investment-ready green projects and enhancing risk-sharing mechanisms, such as guarantees from international financial institutions, to attract greater capital flows into sustainable initiatives.
