Watson Pharmaceutical's acquisition of Swiss company Actavis in a 4.5 billion euros deal makes it the third largest generics manufacturer after Teva of Israel and Novartis AG's Sandoz unit. Actavis was owned by Icelandic billionaire Thor Bjorgolfsson's private equity firm and was taken over by Deusche Bank when the Icelandic bank Landsbanki Islands collapsed in 2008, leading to restructuring of debt.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
