Our Open Innovation Goals and Resources Available

Although AstraZeneca has extensive expertise in biopharmaceutical research and development, we recognize that great ideas come from many sources. In fact, most biomedical innovation occurs outside company walls. Thus, we believe that we stand a much better chance of delivering meaningful treatments for serious diseases like Alzheimer’s, cancer and diabetes if we collaborate and share knowledge and resources with other scientists and organizations rather than work in isolation.

You are invited to view and participate in our Challenges, please click on the Challenges tab for more information. In addition to the open innovation Challenges, we are seeking to collaborate with partners across all stages of drug discovery – from the early idea through to early clinical development. These partnerships could profit from the exchange of compounds, technology and/or knowledge to provide an extra gear to hasten and augment the research. For our partners and collaborators, working with AstraZeneca means access to optimized compounds, compound libraries, technologies, multi-disciplinary science, services and know-how, with the prospect of joint publications in high profile journals and, most importantly, the opportunity to see their ideas develop into treatments for patients.
