About us People & groups

Since 1996 the Industry Programme has provided on-going and regular contact with key stakeholder groups. The programme is subscription-funded and primarily represents larger companies. The Industry Programme supports and encourages precompetitive projects by hosting regular strategy meetings and knowledge-exchange workshops. Outputs from pre-competitive projects are made publicly available, thereby sharing the benefits with interested parties in all EMBL member states. The programme serves as an interface between EMBL-EBI and the Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI), the Pistoia Alliance and other precompetitive initiatives and encourages the involvement of industry in ELIXIR, the emerging pan-European infrastructure for biological information.
