Help addiction researchers find collaborators via AI-driven matching & data sharing

Help addiction researchers find collaborators via AI-driven matching & data sharing targets a $1.20B = 20,000 global research institutions x $60,000 ACV (annual institutional spend on collaboration, analytics, and platform services) total addressable market with medium saturation and a year-over-year growth rate of 8-12% annual growth for research collaboration & analytics tools.

Key trends driving demand: Open-science & data sharing -- funders and journals push for multi-site collaboration and FAIR data, increasing demand for tools that simplify cross-border partnerships.; AI-enabled discovery -- semantic search and author/topic extraction make automated collaborator/grant matching feasible and valuable.; Specialization of networks -- vertical, domain-specific communities (e.g., addiction) outperform generalist networks for trust and relevancy, creating room for niche platforms.; Global burden & funding focus -- rising public health emphasis on substance use/addictions drives dedicated funding calls requiring international consortia..
