THE LEGACY OF
ELI HURVITZ

Pontifax began with the vision of our co-founder and chairman Eli Hurvitz (1932-2011), the legendary CEO and chairman of Teva Pharmaceuticals who spearheaded its strategy to become one of the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies. Under Eli’s guidance, we accumulated the experience and acquired the know-how required to foster life sciences innovations from inception to full-fledged, viable, operating companies. Eli’s legacy continues to guide our choices and decisions today.

INVESTING IN BREAKTHROUGH
INNOVATIONS ONLY

Pontifax invests in breakthrough innovation regardless of therapeutic area or development stage. We establish our own companies as well as partner with existing management to nurture start-ups to maturity. Pontifax takes a hands-on approach in its portfolio management and is deeply involved in charting the course of each company.
