About Velafar
Your Strategic Partner in Spain & Europe
Velafar is a pharma and healthcare consultancy firm founded by Mohamed Mouaize, a pharmacist and senior executive with extensive experience in business development, licensing, and market access across Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East.
Our mission is to bridge global healthcare innovation with real market opportunities.
We help companies access and grow in the Spanish, Moroccan, and broader Middle Eastern markets through tailored strategies — including licensing, branch setup, distribution, and M&A.
In Spain and Morocco, Velafar delivers hands-on execution, managing regulatory, administrative, commercial, and financial operations directly through our local teams and trusted partners.
Beyond these hubs, we also provide strategic consultancy (without local execution) in West French Africa, Saudi Arabia, and the Emirates, helping companies identify reliable partners and market pathways.
Mohamed is a member of the Spanish Licensing Group (PLG) and the Spanish Association of Healtcare comoanies (ANEFP), and works closely with Key Opinion Leaders across many terapeutic areas.

Today, through Velafar, mohamed and his team bring that experience to help international companies build strong, compliant, and profitable operations in new markets.
