MorphoSys AG announced that the Company has been recognized by the World Economic Forum as a Technology Pioneer 2009. The World Economic Forum has selected 34 companies out of more than 320 applications from 15 countries for their accomplishments as innovators, and their work's current and future impact on business and society.

The Technology Pioneers program of the Forum aims to recognize companies that have contributed to the Forum's mission of improving the state of the world and are at the forefront of technology and innovation. To be selected as a Technology Pioneer, a company must be involved in the development of life-changing technology innovation and have the potential for long-term impact on business and society. In addition, it must demonstrate visionary leadership and show all the signs of being a long-standing market leader - and its technology must be proven.

"We congratulate the 34 newly selected Technology Pioneers for their remarkable achievements and welcome them to the wider community of the World Economic Forum. During these difficult times, we are certain that the technologies driven by these visionary companies will contribute to the next wave of growth, with the innovative and entrepreneurial spirit that characterizes them," said André Schneider, Managing Director and Chief Operating Officer of the World Economic Forum.
