TaiGen has built a fully-integrated pharmaceutical company by pursuing a business strategy that capitalizes on the management team's extensive expertise in drug discovery, development, global regulatory approval processes, and commercialization in China. Senior executives at TaiGen were recruited from both major pharmaceutical/biotech companies in the West as well as from Asian-based multinational companies. This unique expertise allows the company to focus on in-licensing  innovative drugs targeting Asian-prevalent diseases to complement its own internal research programs as well as to partner its organic drug development programs. In addition, TaiGen has formed marketing alliances to capture the rapidly-expanding Asian pharmaceutical market.

TaiGen's current pipeline includes "first-in-class" and "best-in-class" products with worldwide IP rights.
