Growth & Emerging Markets (GEM)

We Believe Every Person Everywhere Should Have Access to Medicine

The Growth & Emerging Markets (GEM) Business Unit (BU) is a core growth driver for Takeda globally. Our ambition is to drive profitable, sustainable growth by striving to address complex and rare diseases across GEM, which Takeda is uniquely placed to do. Our strong portfolio and pipeline of innovative medicines is aligned with the unmet needs of patients within GEM – a region characterized by diverse patient- and country-specific challenges.

By 2050, GEM will represent 85% of the total world population, adding around two billion people by that year. The countries and territories within GEM are highly dynamic, with burgeoning middle-class populations, growing healthcare budgets and rapidly rising demands for healthcare services and medicines.

The diversity of our regions, the complexity of the diseases we treat and our growth trajectory mean our employees have every opportunity to make an impact on patients’ lives and their careers.

Attracting & retaining top talent

A key part of the GEM strategy is to attract and retain top talent with a diverse set of skills by providing a purposeful, inclusive and positive workplace for every Takeda employee. Our senior GEM leadership team is truly diverse, with its members representing 14 nationalities, and close to 50% are women.

Takeda has made great progress as part of a select group of only 13 companies globally to receive Global Top Employer status for the third year running in 2020, awarded by the Top Employer Institute, with 24 Takeda GEM country operations receiving external recognition.

Access to Medicines

Takeda is radically increasing access to innovative medicines for complex and rare diseases by mobilizing collective action to drive impact to patients, through targeted partnerships that strengthen healthcare systems in a sustainable way, at every stage of the patient journey. Takeda has positively impacted the lives of patients around the world through our Access to Medicines initiative. These efforts are led and managed from our GEM offices in Singapore.
