A Pandemic Legacy: Saving Lives

The devastating impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is continuing to be felt, both in terms of human cost and the destruction it has wrought on the economies of the world. However, there looks to be a silver lining to the COVID cloud in the shape of medical research.

 

Open source resources are paving the way for discovery and innovation across countless disciplines. Scholars, scientists and software developers alike are realizing the benefits that this type of collaboration can have for their respective industries and the world as a whole, as they work toward making open source a standard practice.

However, the two groups share one thing in common: they need each other to thrive. They are (or should be) looking for that new relationship that kick-starts the business or opens the door to a fantastic new investment opportunity.
