The story

LabConnect is a global central laboratory services partner for clinical trials, not a fintech. Founded 2002, it has spent 20+ years building a lab-agnostic, technology-driven service model orchestrating sample testing, kit logistics, and data integration across 60+ countries for pharma/biotech sponsors and CROs. Recent focus has been on data platforms (LabConnector, DnA Platform) and AI (OmniScience/Vivo agentic AI). No embedded finance products are offered to clients.
