Accelerating FemTech is a new initiative which will support innovators to boost the development of technology solutions to address current challenges in women’s health. This programme is led by the Health Innovation Network with Innovate UK funding as part of the Biomedical Catalyst, and is being supported by a collaboration of partners.
This 10-week support programme is for small / medium-sized companies (SMEs) from across the UK, that have early-stage innovations addressing current challenges in women’s health.
Building on the Health Innovation Network’s experience of running the award-winning DigitalHealth.London Accelerator, the programme will provide companies developing products to solve women’s health challenges with bespoke support through expert-led workshops and mentoring. It will support them to develop their product offering, understand the challenges in the women’s health space, grow entrepreneurship skills and engage with key stakeholders across the NHS and academic landscape. The programme will be delivered in a hybrid format, with two days of face-to-face workshops in London in September and Leeds in October, and a showcase in London in November, supplemented by online support, workshops and coaching.
The programme will also support the companies to apply to the Innovate UK Biomedical Catalyst call in November 2023, to demonstrate their commercial and technical feasibility.
To apply, please sign up for an account on this page and complete every section of the online application form. The form includes questions about your company, the women's health challenge you're looking to address, and the FemTech product itself. More information about the programme and it's delivery partners can be found here.
Applications will be assessed according to business credibility, potential for impact in women's health, and the extent to which we believe the programme will make a positive impact on your business. You will be able to save your application at any point and return to it until the deadline.
The deadline for applications is 23:59 on Sunday 25 June 2023. If you are successful in the online application stage, you will be invited for a short interview. These will be held between 18 July 2023 to 21 July 2023.
