Accelerating FemTech helps early-stage companies, university spinouts and entreprenurial-minded academics focused on women’s health gain the commercial and funding momentum they need for long-term success. This national programme prepares participants for a special closed call funding opportunity through Innovate UK’s Biomedical Catalyst (BMC), delivered alongside a collaborative learning programme and facilitated networking with key NHS and health sector stakeholders across England, Scotland and Northern Ireland. In 2023, alumni from the first cohort of Accelerating FemTech were awarded more than £1m in funding through the BMC.
Throughout the programme, early-stage companies, university spinouts and entreprenurial academics will benefit from bespoke support, targeted workshops, and mentoring to enhance product development, entrepreneurship skills, and stakeholder engagement across the NHS and academia. Support for successful applicants to cohort 2 of Accelerating FemTech will run from November 2024 to March 2025.
Join the Accelerating FemTech 101 Webinar to hear about the programme and ask any questions you may have, on Tuesday, 1 October from 12:30PM – 1:30PM (BST) on Zoom.
