Cactus Communications was founded to help authors get published, irrespective of the language they spoke. As we explored new approaches to the challenges associated with the dissemination of research, it became apparent that biopharmaceutical companies required unique solutions and expertise to help communicate their complex research to a diverse range of stakeholders.

Cactus Life Sciences was launched as a global provider of high-quality scientific communications for biopharma seeking efficient content development. We established hybrid centers of excellence that blend global talent with local market expertise, streamlining content creation. Our approach, grounded in scientific expertise and accuracy, overcomes the challenges of traditional offshoring and offers efficiencies that standard agencies cannot achieve.

Cactus Life Sciences initiated an aggressive buy-and-build strategy, acquiring nspm and eluSCIdate as its first strategic investments. These companies were selected for their strong cultural alignment, shared values, and people-centric approach. Their integration has expanded our capabilities, introducing new global meetings and events services, along with deep expertise in rare diseases—further enriching our service portfolio and reinforcing our commitment to client-centric solutions.
