What Dr. Regenold GmbH does

Dr. Regenold GmbH is an independent, family-owned regulatory, clinical, and market access consultancy headquartered in Badenweiler, Germany, founded in 1994 to help life sciences companies bring pharmaceuticals, medical devices, IVDs, drug-device combination products, SaMD/digital health, ATMPs, and borderline or food/cosmetic products through development, approval, and post-market lifecycle in the EU and UK. Its core technology and delivery platform is regulanet® — an exclusive, 25-year-old curated network of independent development, regulatory, and market access experts in 90+ countries that operates under regenold-defined standards for communication, documentation, authority interaction, and regulatory writing, with a regenold project lead acting as the single accountable point of contact. The firm also holds its own Manufacturing and Importation Authorisations (MIA and IMP MIA) in Ireland via JensonR+ (Ireland) Ltd and UK Manufacturing authorisations, employing named Qualified Persons, Responsible Persons, QPPVs, and National Contact Persons in-house — enabling clients, particularly non-EU sponsors, to use regenold licences for EU/UK batch release, MAH holding, and clinical trial sponsorship without building local infrastructure.

Regenold operates directly from offices in Germany, the UK (Barnstaple and Nottingham), Ireland (Longford and Dublin), Portugal (Algés), and Switzerland, and reaches 90+ additional countries via regulanet®. Its offering is structured across dedicated service lines for pharmaceuticals, biologics/biosimilars/ATMPs, medical devices, IVDs and companion diagnostics, digital health/SaMD, combination products, borderline products, and food/cosmetics (the last via the nutracompliance.com sub-brand), supported by cross-cutting services in regulatory strategy, CMC, clinical development, scientific writing, quality/compliance, pharmacovigilance and device vigilance, market access and HTA, and due diligence.

The business model is professional services delivered on bespoke, multi-month to multi-year engagements, supplemented by recurring managed-services revenue from licensed-infrastructure roles (MAH, RP, QPPV, NCP, batch certification). Pricing is quote-based with no public rate card; engagements are initiated through an 'Arrange a Call' funnel (HubSpot and Zeeg booking) and typically scoped per workstream. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales into pharma sponsors, medical device and IVD manufacturers, digital health developers, and non-EU companies seeking EU/UK infrastructure, with the company citing 2,000+ innovators guided and 10,000+ successful product submissions across 90 countries as its commercial credibility base.
