“For more than two decades, both companies have operated with related ambitions, often tackling challenges from different angles,” said Dr. Alexander Zehnder, CEO of CureVac. “This transaction aims at combining complementary scientific capabilities, proprietary technologies and manufacturing expertise in the mRNA field under one roof.”
The deal underscores an industry-wide momentum: the convergence of scientific talent, proprietary platforms, and manufacturing firepower to dominate the future of personalized medicine and cancer treatment.
With this acquisition, BioNTech is not just buying assets—it’s absorbing a legacy, co-opting a rival, and rewriting the next chapter in the mRNA revolution.
