ETC gives member companies the ability to partner with external collaborators to further the mission of developing pre-competitive enabling technologies for pharmaceutical development and manufacturing. Pre-competitive projects are defined here as collaborations between multiple pharmaceutical companies and third parties designed to produce an efficiency-enhancing advancement or refinement that will ultimately be made broadly available to the public, either through publication, commercialization of a new product, or other means. ETC streamlines these partnerships by eliminating the need for parallel agreements between each member company and the external party, providing a governance framework for the advancement of collaborative projects, and allowing for companies interested in enabling technologies to invest equally in their development. ETC members are also able to provide feedback on newly developed technologies upon request from instrument vendors. Contact us at info@etconsortium.org.
