Lifebit Innovation Fund · open until December 31, 2026
Build on health data
that cannot move.
Platform, expert time, and compute for registries, public-sector pilots, and federated AI projects. Data never leaves the source.
Who it is for
Three kinds of team, one problem: the data is valuable and it cannot move.
Governments, health systems, biobanks, non-profits, and research consortia are all eligible. Pick the focus area closest to your project when you apply.
Health non-profits
Organizations holding critical disease registries or rare disease datasets that need modern, secure data infrastructure without a capital project to get there.
Typical ask: a governed home for a registry, ready for approved researchers.
Government and public sector
Entities caught in the chicken-and-egg cycle: a seed pilot is needed to demonstrate return before long-term funding can be secured.
Typical ask: a funded pilot with measurable outcomes in one budget cycle.
AI and federation pioneers
Teams launching pilot projects in federated analytics, Sovereign AI, or autonomous AI Scientist workflows across sites that will not share raw data.
Typical ask: a two-site federation with an AI Scientist running inside it.
What selected organizations receive
Not a discount. The platform, the people, and the compute to ship a result.
Compute and token credits
Up to $1,000 in cloud compute or model token credits, used inside your environment.
Software licensing
3 to 24 months free enterprise license for the Lifebit Federated AI Platform and Trusted Research Environment (TRE).
Expert services support
Up to 200 FTE days of dedicated technical delivery across:
Linkage, tokenization, standardization to common data models such as OMOP, and AI-ready formatting.
Custom AI Scientist tools and analytical workflows built for your question.
Network setup, federated learning, and cross-site analysis.

Loading the application form…
Who can apply?
Health non-profits, government and public-sector bodies, health systems, biobanks, and research teams working on federated analytics, Sovereign AI, or AI Scientist workflows. If your project fits more than one focus area, choose the closest and say so in the description.
Does our data have to move to Lifebit?
No. The platform runs in your environment, and analysis and AI come to the data. Data never leaves the source.
How is the size of an award decided?
By the scope of the pilot: how much data preparation it needs, how many sites take part, and how long the license must run to reach a result. Awards run from 3 to 24 months of license, up to 200 expert days, and up to $1,000 in credits.
What happens when the fund period ends?
You keep the results, the harmonized data, and the workflows. Continuing on the platform is a separate, optional conversation; there is no obligation to license afterwards.
Prefer to discuss your proposal first?
