What is the

co-innovation lab?

100px
It’s a first-of-its-kind collaboration that will combine advanced AI technology with some of the brightest minds in tech and science to solve the world’s toughest health challenges. Planned for San Francisco, the initiative will create continuous learning systems where world-class AI and scientific talent can build off each other, generating large-scale data to accelerate medicine discovery and improve the odds of success. The initiative will be supported by up to $1 billion in combined investment over five years from Lilly and NVIDIA and work is expected to begin March 31.

Collaboration is key to quickly advancing scientific discovery—no single health care company can transform the industry alone. Collaborating with companies outside health care, like NVIDIA—the world leader in AI computing—provides a new, better way of working. By harnessing technology and combining it with scientific expertise, we have the potential to design better medicines at scale faster with greater confidence.
