Innovate UK’s Global Incubator Programme is an acceleration programme for innovative companies to work with world-leading incubators abroad.
We are currently accepting applications for up to 8 high potential medical device companies to join our programme.
The Programme is delivered in partnership with the Texas Medical Center Innovation (TMCi), Houston, USA and supported by the Department for Business & Trade (DBT), as part of the UK TMC BioBridge agreement.
We are looking for businesses with the ambition and commitment to scale globally. The programme best suits businesses that already have some traction and sales in the UK that are now looking to innovate their products and services through building global partnerships and collaborations to accelerate their growth and scaling journey.
We are committed to a policy of equal treatment and opportunity in every aspect of this programme. As such we welcome applications from those under-represented in the healthtech sector.
