Why Invest in AI + Life Sciences Now?

This is a once-in-a-generation convergence of biology and computation!

The advances in AI bring a massive and unprecedented level of opportunities and acceleration across the various verticals in life science (eg. BioPharma, MedTech, Diagnostic, Digital Health).

As an example, AI is transforming into the $1.8T+ global drug R&D market.1 While drug development takes on average 10yrs, 90% of drug candidates fail during the R&D and clinical process. However, by improving target selection, prediction, and validation, AI has the potential to fundamentally reshape productivity across the entire R&D, and clinical stages of drug development.

Beyond therapeutics, AI is driving disruption across a $1T+ healthcare ecosystem, spanning across verticals including MedTech, diagnostics, and digital health.2 Within this landscape, AI-enabled diagnostics and digital health are among the fastest-growing segments, fueled by the increasing importance of data, automation, and real-time decision-making.3

Accelerating the entire life science sector growth:

  • Overall, AI is accelerating innovation by providing new alternatives optimizing the accuracy of patient care and treatment delivery.

  • AI in life sciences is growing at an average of ~38% CAGR across prevention, diagnosis, monitoring and drug discovery.

  • Increasing M&A appetite and activity from larger players to acquire trailblazing and agile early-stage companies.
