# BioNTech

**Role: partner in a [[concept-collaborative-ecosystem]] exemplar.** BioNTech supplied the AI screening capability in its Covid-19 vaccine collaboration with [[org-pfizer]], evaluating over 10,000 mRNA candidates in days. Referenced as the technology/discovery half of the alliance; Pfizer provided regulatory and manufacturing scale. (Added as a resolvable entity for the cross-reference from [[org-pfizer]].)
