The Innovate UK Hospital to Community Accelerator backs early-stage innovations moving care closer to patients and communities.
Each programme supports up to 10 early stage startups working on remote monitoring, at-home diagnostics, new community care models, and digital tools that ease hospital pressure.
Founders gain investment-readiness support, expert-led workshops, tailored one-to-one mentoring, and access to healthcare leaders, VCs, and our healthtech ecosystem and alumni network.
Designed and delivered by Founders Factory with Innovate UK, part of UKRI, the accelerator helps build earlier, local, and preventative care that delivers better outcomes for patients.
