About A.Catalyst
A.Catalyst Network is an interconnected global network of more than 20 AstraZeneca health innovation hubs, made up of physical locations and virtual partnerships. The network embodies our commitment to Growth Through Innovation as 'a catalyst' for the development of new healthcare solutions to support patients.
Through our A.Catalyst Network we are co-creating challenge-based solutions with and for patients, and working with partners to establish integrated healthcare systems that benefit the whole patient experience — from prevention and awareness, diagnosis and treatment to post-treatment and wellness.
Why partner with us
A.Catalyst Network enables AstraZeneca to work with and provide support to start-up companies, research organizations and technology partners through mentoring, advice and incubator/accelerator models to help them bring their ideas to life across the globe.
Each A.Catalyst Network hub has its own unique ecosystem, addresses different challenges, and can take different forms, according to its specific characteristics and needs. This can include shared physical locations with emerging companies and academic groups, experience design and co-creation centres in partnership with healthcare practitioners, patients and entrepreneurs, start-up acceleration and incubation sites, educational programmes, mentoring, internships, roadshows, professional and patient services.
While each hub is unique, they are all interconnected as part of a global network. This means partners and solutions are not restricted to a single hub and can move fluidly between hubs as required.
