Innovation bridge logo and tagline

Developing Country Vaccine Manufacturers (DCVMs) are located in developing and middle income countries globally. Together, DCVMs produce millions of doses of vaccine each year to help protect the health of populations in developing nations.

Select DVCMs are already able to produce high quality vaccines suitable for both local markets as well as for sale to United Nations agencies.

The purpose of the Innovation Bridge is to foster new partnerships between DCVMs and companies that are developing vaccines for the developing world. Such partnerships have been unusual, but the premise of the Innovation Bridge is that they can be very effective.

Partnerships between DCVMs and vaccine developers begin with communication. To help with communication, here we provide a list of DCVMs.
