Pistoia Alliance

The Pistoia Alliance is a global, not-for-profit members organization. It was incorporated in 2008 by representatives from AstraZeneca, GSK, Novartis, and Pfizer, with a shared vision that we can achieve more together.

Today, it has more than 200 members companies representing the biopharmaceutical industry, including 17 of the top 20 pharma companies by R&D expenditure, CROs, technology and service providers, academic and research institutions as well as patient groups.

Using the Pistoia Alliance’s robust legal framework, its members work together, pooling expertise and R&D resources to develop solutions that solve shared pre-competitive challenges. These solutions provide the foundations to advance science and create value for the industry, without yielding competitive advantage for individual organizations or requiring competitive data to be shared.
