Networking, Innovation & Entrepreneurship

Networking

Our mission is to foster collaboration, networking, and entrepreneurial ventures within the Healthcare community across the region.

Through a series of networking events and curated access to invaluable resources, we aim to ignite innovation and facilitate pathways to commercial success.

Additionally, we are committed to providing support for engagement opportunities, including access to state-of-the-art Incubator spaces located in highly interconnected environments such as Newcastle Helix, the CAV (NU), and NHC (Tees), with seamless integration into Centers hosted by our six collaborating Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) and Hub partners.

This work is being led by Prof Vikki Rand (Teesside University) and Prof Boguslaw Obara (Newcastle University).
