The consolidation of 26 businesses, acquired over six years, into one identity — now expressed through a new brand: PLG, Advanced Intelligence For Life Sciences
Paris, 29 September 2026 — ProductLife Group (PLG) today marks the completion of a multi-year transformation: the consolidation of 26 businesses, acquired over six years, into a single, unified Group with digital and human capabilities across life sciences — spanning product development and engineering, market and patient access, product compliance, and digital innovation.
This transformation also reflects an evolution in how PLG works: combining deep human expertise with intelligent automation. Every recommendation stays owned by a senior life sciences expert — never replaced by technology, only accelerated by it.
This is underpinned by a clear vision and mission: to be the leading global life sciences Advanced Intelligence business, combining the best human expertise with intelligent automation to help clients bring new medicines to patients, cure diseases and improve lives - in practice, helping life sciences innovators bring new therapies to patients through deep human expertise, intelligent automation, and senior expert accountability.
To deliver on this mission and meet the full range of client needs, PLG is structured around four connected Business Units, each a centre of expertise:
- Product Development & Engineering (from molecule or prototype to manufacturing — integrated pre-clinical, clinical, CMC and regulatory development, paired with world-class engineering);
- Market & Patient Access (market access, HTA and pricing, health economics and patient-centred evidence, accelerating sustainable access);
- Product Compliance (regulatory affairs, safety and vigilance, and quality assurance, keeping products compliant and audit-ready throughout their lifecycle);
- Digital & Innovation (technology-agnostic digital transformation and AI-enabled solutions connecting R&D, quality, manufacturing and commercial).
Most client engagements span more than one Business Unit — one accountable partner across the full life sciences journey, rather than four separate providers.
"When I joined PLG earlier this year, I found an organisation that had already become something rare in this industry: one Group with a genuinely end to end set of capabilities across life sciences," said James Burt, CEO of ProductLife Group. "Today's launch puts a name to what that means for our clients — human expertise and intelligent automation working as one, with a senior expert accountable for every decision. That combination, Human and Artificial, is what a complete life sciences partner should look like now."
This transformation is now expressed through a new brand and positioning: PLG | Advanced Intelligence for Life Sciences.
The new logo gives that mission a visual form: its symbol depicts a unified force coming together, advancing upwards and forwards - the same collective energy that today connects PLG's four Business Units into one accountable partner, rather than four separate providers.
With this new identity, PLG confirms its position as a truly global partner: over 2,000 clients served across life sciences, delivered by 1,750 experts across 60 nationalities, with PLG's own operations in 50+ countries and reach into 150+ countries through its partner network.
Key facts:
- One Group, full set of competencies across life sciences, organised in four connected Business Units: Product Development & Engineering, Product Compliance, Market & Patient Access, and Digital & Innovation
- 26 businesses, acquired over six years, now unified into one Group, with full system integration targeted for completion by the end of 2027
