Edelweiss Connect is a brand that specializes in managing collaborative projects to achieve goals in scientific research, infrastructure development, and service provision. Their main focus is on connecting people and data for integrated safety solutions. In the field of toxicology testing, Edelweiss Connect recognizes the limitations of traditional methods, which are expensive, slow, and not always accurate due to the physiological differences between animals and humans.

To address these challenges, Edelweiss Connect promotes the use of in vitro methods that test chemicals on cells in test tubes and petri dishes, as well as the integration of in silico methods that utilize computer power to predict toxicity. By pooling available data about the toxicity of compounds with similar composition and structures, Edelweiss Connect eliminates the need for new experiments on animals. Additionally, they have developed computer software that helps combine data from various sources and formats, making it easier for scientists to evaluate and share their findings.

Edelweiss Connect is committed to bringing together data from different research labs and fostering collaboration through their innovative platforms. They have a proven track record of successful collaborations and have partnered with major consumer product and (agro)chemical companies. Recently, they established the SaferWorldbyDesign partnership, aimed at designing safer products without animal testing by leveraging advancements in science and technology.

Edelweiss Connect operates globally, with offices in Switzerland and the USA
