Public description
About the program
The Idea Incubator is AstraZeneca's structured open innovation channel for external researchers to propose collaborative projects using AstraZeneca compounds, targets and research capabilities. Selected proposals receive AstraZeneca scientific resources and co-development support. It is a research collaboration mechanism rather than an equity accelerator.
