Generics and Biosimilars Initiative (GaBI) was founded in 2008 by Professors Huub Schellekens and Arnold Vulto from The Netherlands, together with Lasia Tang from Belgium; with the support of Pro Pharma Communications International who launched the first platform—GaBI Online—in September 2009 under the GaBI umbrella.

The mission of GaBI is to foster the worldwide efficient use of high quality and safe medicines at an affordable price, thus advancing and supporting the idea of accessible, affordable and sustainable health care. GaBI aims to raise the scientific status of generic and biosimilar medicines, and to provide comprehensive high quality, scientifically sound, reliable, well-documented and up-to-date information about generic and biosimilar medicines both in print and electronically in an open access format.
