A new R&D Horizontal Innovation Programme for SMEs to the value of £35,000 has launched by the Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC) and IET. This innovative programme will fund and assist an SME (from any industry sector) in adapting its own existing technology solution from design to commercialisation in the healthcare sector.*Application forms and more details are available online.
The opportunity will be awarded to the business that best demonstrates a technology solution in the healthcare sector, in particular one that addresses the current NHS challenges within Emergency Care - Critical Care and Intensive Care Units. The proposal should aim to solve a real-life issue within NHS patient care, which could include anything from initial patient transportation through to recovery.
