GSK shifts funds to late-stage R&D, relocates HQ to Cambridge

GSK unveiled a three-year plan to reallocate resources toward its late-stage R&D and move its research HQ from Stevenage to Cambridge, aiming for 1.9 billion pounds in annual savings by 2029 at a 2.4 billion pound one-time cost. Savings will come mainly from procurement and portfolio shifts from mature products to novel therapies, with no jobs figure disclosed yet, and will fund further pipeline assets such as antibody-drug conjugates as the company counters 2028 dolutegravir patent expiry; the London HQ remains, and a 400 million pound Cambridge investment underscores tighter integration with the UK life sciences ecosystem.
