Novartis Biome
- The Novartis Biome
A catalyst for impactful digital collaboration
We believe in uniting the best of science and technology to create better healthcare solutions and seamless experiences for patients and caregivers, at scale.
Not to be confused with an accelerator or incubator, we allow teams to co-develop digital solutions alongside specific therapeutic offerings, research activities, and business processes within Novartis.
At the same time, we provide external innovators with the resources and opportunities they need to validate their solutions through access to regulatory, medical or legal expertise, as well as data sandboxes linked to over 2 million patient years of clinical trial data, and in some cases, investment and financing.

“The Novartis Biome provides an on-ramp to make working with Novartis easier, as well as a sandbox for developing scalable digital solutions to healthcare challenges.”
It's time to come together
It’s not always easy for entrepreneurs or even sizable companies to work with Pharma and navigate the highly-regulated healthcare space. We created the Novartis Biome as a bridge to help our partners become an extension of our own teams, working with us as easily and productively as possible to jointly innovate and co-develop digital solutions at scale.

From nimble startups and academia to the biggest players in the industry, the Novartis Biome is a network of innovation hubs, scaling globally, able to use this platform to democratize access to tech innovation and expertise, and keep in step with the ever-evolving healthcare landscape.
"As complex healthcare challenges aren’t solved by ‘of-the-shelf’ digital solutions, we wanted to enable fluid co-creation between our internal teams and external partners – to accelerate the work we’re doing to reimagine medicine, at scale."
