Pioneering global health innovations selected for Yorkshire and Humber region
Posted: 9th October 2023
Health Innovation Yorkshire and Humber’s Propel@YH Boot Camp, a five-day digital health accelerator programme, is delighted to welcome twelve Indian SMEs to the UK who will bring innovative HealthTech solutions to the region’s population.
The Boot Camp builds on our Propel@YH programme and seeks to bring the best health innovations from around the world into the UK, with the Yorkshire and Humber region being the first to make use of them. It is hugely promising for the citizens of Yorkshire and Humber whose patients will get to benefit from the best technology first, and the region also benefits from the inward investment that the programme secures.
Twelve SMEs were selected for this year’s cohort including:
- Avay Bioscience
- Cutting Edge Medical Devices
- Karkinos Healthcare
- Manentia Ai
- Larkai
- AarogyaAI
- Ibrum Technologies
- Green Ocean Research Labs
- Marbles Health
- CoRover
- DigiHeal Solutions and Services
- MedTel Healthcare
The Boot Camp is delivered alongside the Propel@YH programme partners, who provide expert advice in key areas of the NHS and wider UK health system, including:
- Hill Dickinson (legal advice)
- Nexus, University of Leeds, (networking opportunities)
- Barclays Eagle Labs (growth support)
- Leeds City Council (networking contacts across the city).
- Leeds Teaching Hospitals Innovation Pop Up will provide NHS insight and strategy, amongst other support.
- Par Equity (investment advice)
SMEs take part in a five-day programme of intensive support and masterclass content, provided by the expert partners, that gives innovators a crash course on the UK healthcare market. The cohort will have access to subject matter experts and the opportunity to directly engage with local NHS stakeholders as well as the wider HealthTech ecosystem in the Yorkshire and Humber region.
Dr Neville Young, Director of Enterprise and Innovation at Health Innovation Yorkshire & Humber said:
“We’re delighted to welcome the Indian cohort to Yorkshire. The programme offers international innovators the opportunity to access the UK healthcare market and establish a base in Yorkshire and the Humber.
“It supports innovators with tailored content and knowledge in five key areas: the NHS, legal, finance and funding, networking, growth and spread.
“It’s great to see innovative companies from across the globe wanting to bring their products to the UK, particularly here in Yorkshire and the Humber.
If we can successfully support these innovators to establish themselves in Yorkshire, we can use the great regional assets available to us combined with the strength of the Health Innovation Network to spread these innovations across the country, securing investment, jobs and health and wellbeing benefits for the whole of the UK.”
