We are inviting applications for our NHS market accelerator running from 23 to 27 September. This accelerator is best suited to companies already operating in the digital healthcare space, who require support navigating the regulatory and administrative environment within the UK’s National Health Service. We recommend that you apply if you are not yet working with the NHS, are currently working with private healthcare, and are at the beta test stage or have a finished product ready for the market.
The programme has a value of £7380 (€8100). Fully-funded places are available for companies eligible through the Innovation Support for Business (ISfB programme). To be eligible, companies must be an SME incorporated in England or a Ltd company bringing a new innovation to market.
