Artificial Intelligence Ecosystem in Pharmaceutical Research Industry
The below diagram shows how many of AI-based drug discovery startups emerge each year, and how much VC money they get collectively (only publicly announced rounds included). Another important indicator of pharma industry's willingness to adopt AI innovations is the number of collaborations between prominent pharma players and AI-technology vendors (startups). As one can see, the number of collaborations has been growing so far to reach the maximum in 2017. The year 2018 is currently being updated so the data here is still not complete.
