We build collaborative research projects in a way that preserves privacy with federated learning.
Consortia
Federated learning is a breakthrough technology that is set up to ensure secure and efficient consortia. Data is never shared between partners, only the encrypted model weights travel between the data centers. Working with Owkin in your consortium will give you access to our cutting-edge federated learning technology and to our highly curated medical data and research networks.

Owkin adapts to your consortium needs
As a technology provider and expert
Work with us as a technology partner or subcontractor. We bring our expertise in deploying and maintaining our open-source federated learning framework for your consortium members. We also provide proprietary federated strategies and privacy enhancing technology. We can work within one or more packages as a subcontractor to one of the grant beneficiaries.
As a research partner
Work with us as a research partner from the writing of the grant proposal to setting up the infrastructure. We will collaborate in addressing the major medical or technological challenges tackled by the consortium. We will bring experience in building successful applications and consortia as well as our large network of partners.
Unlock the power of cutting-edge technology combined with our network of medical and research experts for your consortium.
Collaborate with usFL for consortia
Federated learning for consortia allows your collaborative research project to:
Protect data privacy
Keep your data behind your firewalls and avoid complex data sharing infrastructures and agreements.
Accelerate consortium building
Remove compliance hurdles and facilitate the onboarding of new partners.
Control permissions
Smart control of permissions of data and models for each partner or subcontractor, with traceability features to monitor usage and build trust.
Our federated learning software Substra is the ideal tool to learn from distributed datasets among consortium partners. It is already involved in many collaborative research projects centered around medical research.
The European Commission recently released the Horizon Europe work programs for 2023! At Owkin, we are particularly interested in the calls of the Health Cluster, but we would love to support any project fostering a collaborative approach to data, using federated learning.
