Fill-in the contact form you can find on this page and the INCISIVE representatives will get in touch with you with further instructions.
Once your registration process is complete, you will have access to the INCISIVE platform where you can perform queries over the INCISIVE data based on various filters and/or train your models in a centralised and/or federated manner (depending on your preference and where the data is stored).
