The Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI) is a European initiative to improve the competitive situation of the European Union in the field of pharmaceutical research. The IMI is a joint initiative (Public-Private Partnership) of the DG Research of the European Commission, representing the European Communities, and the European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations (EFPIA). IMI is laid out as a Joint Technology Initiative within the Seventh Framework Programme.

The Innovative Medicines Initiative is aimed towards removing research bottlenecks in the current drug development process. The IMI Joint Technology Initiative (IMI JTI), to be implemented by the IMI Joint Undertaking is meant to address these research bottlenecks.

The Sixth Framework Programme's research projects InnoMed AddNeuroMed and InnoMed PredTox act as pilot projects establishing the feasibility of this particular public-private partnership [Reference on EFPIA's IMI site [http://www.imi-europe.org/pilot%20project/pages/default.aspx] ] .
