Our history
The timeline below outlines how Astrum’s unified organisation came to be. Combining the experience and resources of four established European Contract Research Organisations, our heritage goes all the way back to 1983.
2023
Astrum founded
In 2023, supported by Henko Partners, Astrum was formed from four established Contract Research Organisations. Our 25 years of combined clinical expertise can now provide a wide array of services across Europe that are tailored to each customer’s needs.
2012
BlueClinical founded
BlueClinical was founded in 2012 by experienced clinical research professionals from the industry. With 70 clients from across the globe, their offering of high quality clinical studies and services at a fair cost has led to high-levels of customer satisfaction.
2005
Bioclever founded
Based in Spain, Bioclever was founded in 2005 offering comprehensive support in clinical development. With an Agile approach that utilises innovative digital solutions, Bioclever established itself as a leader in the end-to-end management of the clinical research process.
2004
Popsicube founded
Full-service CRO Popsicube was founded in 2004, offering not just the expertise of a CRO, but collaborating on projects on the future of healthcare, personalised and predictive medicine, and artificial intelligence, where Popsicube’s expertise in clinical trials and new technologies have highly beneficial applications.
2002
MissionTEC founded
MissionTEC, founded in 2002, works with 150 ICH, GCP, and IATA-trained clinical research nurses across France, bringing exceptional service and expertise directly to the patient’s door. MissionTEC would later join Popsicube in providing flexible service with the patient at their heart.
1983
Pharmalog founded
The Astrum journey began in 1983 with the founding of Pharmalog by Dr R. Eberhardt. Based in Ismaning, Germany, Pharmalog has extensive experience in non-interventional studies in the field of medical devices, pharmaceutical products, ATMPs, and biologics.
Astrum is supported by Henko Partners, an independent private equity fund focused on developing outstanding companies in markets with long-term growth trends. Henko Partners collaborates with top entrepreneurs and management teams to develop successful businesses. They’re a responsible investor committed to strict environmental, social, and governance principles.
“As entrepreneurs for entrepreneurs, we support companies to accelerate their growth and transform into more resilient and sustainable businesses. We are helping Astrum grow into a solid mid-sized clinical development partner, whilst keeping its agility and closeness to its loyal client base.”
