Join us for an afternoon of healthcare innovation and entrepreneurship at the HTCC showcase!

Over the past nine months, 25 of the most innovative healthcare teams across the University of Hertfordshire, Cranfield University, and Imperial have received funding, mentorship, commercialisation support, upskilling workshops and more. All with the goal of accelerating their progress to commercialisation in a competitive market.

With the programme now coming to an end, we would like to invite you to join us to hear from industry experts about overcoming commercialisation challenges in the healthcare industry as well as presentations from six of the HTCC ventures. Following the presentations, there will be a networking reception where you can meet all 25 teams in the HTCC cohort and find out more about their ventures.

About HTCC:

The Healthcare Technologies Capability Connector is a new programme offering small and medium-size businesses from across the UK a range of support to accelerate the commercialisation of healthcare technologies such as medical devices and biotechnologies.

The programme offers businesses access to academic consultancy, facilities, and spaces from Imperial, the University of Hertfordshire, and Cranfield University. It also supports entrepreneurial academics and research staff across the three institutions.

The Connector is led by the University of Hertfordshire and funded by Research England’s Connecting Capability Fund, which aims to bring innovative technologies that could improve patients’ lives more quickly into clinical use.
