Five in A Row! Alnylam Named a 2025 Best Workplace for Innovators by Fast Company
September 9, 2025
At Alnylam, we think of ourselves as being "fiercely innovative" (which is also one of our core values) because we believe that we have the ability to drive new discoveries from concept to cure in a way that transforms the treatment of disease. For over 20 years, we’ve nurtured a culture that fosters creativity and collaboration to empower innovation across the entire company—from R&D to the way we support patients prescribed our medicines.
Our passion for innovation and "challenge accepted" attitude are at the core of our success. This mindset, which permeates our labs and offices, is the reason we've been so successful as a company, delivered the breakthroughs that have made RNAi therapeutics possible, and continue to be recognized as a great place to work.
That's why being named one of Fast Company's Best Workplaces for Innovators for the fifth consecutive year is so special—it's validation that we've built something truly unique.
Innovation without risk taking, the right people, and real resources is just another good idea. At Alnylam, our innovative culture embraces a “challenge accepted” mindset. Our teams have a relentless focus on patients, embracing bold science, turning what once seemed like science fiction into disease-modifying therapies helping patients worldwide. Being recognized for the fifth year in a row by Fast Company as a workplace where innovators thrive reflects the passion of our people who relentlessly search, day in and day out, for the next therapy for patients in need.” - Kevin Fitzgerald, Chief Scientific Officer
In addition to being named a Best Workplace for Innovators five years in a row, we're incredibly proud to have been recognized as one of Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies in both 2023 and 2019.
Fast Company's annual list of Best Workplaces for Innovators list recognizes companies from around the world across industries including Pharmaceuticals, Technology, Fintech, Engineering, Manufacturing and more. From Fast Company: "Our sixth annual Best Workplaces for Innovators list recognizes more than 150 companies that understand vitally important breakthroughs can occur on the loading dock, not just in a corner office."
