Are you a researcher with cutting-edge ideas for improving patient outcomes? Are you a business looking to make a positive impact on healthcare? Take part in the Wessex Academic Health Science Network’s sandbox event, bringing together the NHS, academics and business experts to explore and develop new technologies and solutions for healthcare delivery. This is an unique opportunity to build funded collaborations with some of the leading minds in the field, and to see first-hand the potential of your ideas to improve patient care.
If you have an idea for your business but do not have all the in-house expertise needed to develop it, a Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) may be the perfect solution. Innovate UK’s Knowledge Transfer Advisers explain why in this video.
KTPs have been helping UK businesses innovate for growth over the last 47 years. They bring together a dynamic three-way collaboration – between a business or not-for-profit organisation, a UK university or research organisation, and a suitably qualified graduate. The KTP enables privileged and cost-effective access to world-class knowledge and expertise to deliver a strategic innovation project for the business, generate new knowledge, bring about transformative change and embed new capability.
The event will be held on Tuesday 7 March 17:00-20:30 at the Axis Centre, Southampton Science Park. For more information please see the KTP programme website where they summarise the programme’s benefits for businesses and provide details on the application process.
This will be an interactive event with the opportunity to apply for Wessex Academic Health Science Network seed funding, to catalyse full-scale partnership applications through Innovate UK’s KTP programme.
The event is suitable for University researchers and health-related businesses which are at market. Early stage or pre-launch companies may not find it best use of their time.
Tickets can be reserved on Eventbrite.
