Join us on 22 April 2026 for an interactive half-day workshop, hosted by the National Biofilms Innovation Centre (NBIC), in partnership with the University of Nottingham Centre for Healthcare Technologies (CHT). This workshop titled, ‘Biofilm Breakthroughs: Partnering for next-generation biofilm control’ is designed to help HealthTech industry innovators collaborate with leading researchers to tackle device contamination and infection-risk challenges.
Biofilms remain a persistent and costly issue in medical technologies, affecting device reliability, patient safety, regulatory pathways and product performance. As a core NBIC partner, the University of Nottingham brings together world-leading expertise and a suite of innovations highly relevant to the HealthTech sector, spanning biosensing, surface engineering, advanced imaging and translational diagnostics.
This event provides an opportunity to explore cutting-edge solutions, develop collaborative ideas and accelerate innovation from concept to real-world application. By taking part, you could help shape impactful new approaches and potentially secure funding through the NBIC Innovation Challenge Fund*.
Participants can also apply for a share of up to £10,000 for eligible projects via UKRI’s Impact Accelerator Accounts (IAA)*, facilitated by the University of Nottingham IP Commercialisation Team to support and formalise industry–academia collaborations.
*Eligibility, terms and conditions apply.
