We translate promising UK university research into real-world solutions by funding development, fostering collaboration in Yorkshire, and powering the next generation of MedTech spinouts.
Supporting academics across regional and national universities to bridge the gap between primary research and clinical implementation. Supported by EPSRC and led jointly by the Universities of Leeds and Sheffield, we strengthen the region’s thriving MedTech ecosystem by providing the crucial translational link—advancing innovations to drive measurable impact for patients and healthcare systems.
Our first three funding rounds have awarded £900,000 to 30 projects spanning device development and diagnostic technologies across Yorkshire’s universities.
