We are pleased to introduce the Health Tech Business Incubation Centre (Health BIC). The Health BIC aims to commercialise businesses in health and life science research and is based at STFC’s Daresbury Laboratory at Sci-Tech Daresbury, thanks to investment from the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority. Our Business Incubation Centres provide support to UK deep-tech start-ups in the very early stages of their business journey. Working with ambitious early-stage companies, we provide funding, support and expertise to de-risk innovation and route to market. The Health BIC also brings together key national stakeholders in the North West Health Cluster, including Medical Research Council and Medicines Discovery Catapult, together with regional bodies to support innovators on their journey. This directly links to STFC’s cluster strategy and UK Research and Innovation’s place agenda to create thriving and connected innovation ecosystems. Paul Vernon, our Executive Director: “Our 60+ years heritage means that we have the facilities, the expertise and the partners to support early-stage businesses to reach their full potential. We hope to replicate that successes of our other business incubation schemes and drive more innovation in this vital sector and see more investment in the region.” Find out more: 👉 https://lnkd.in/ePAnaAjf Paul Vernon | Massimo Noro | Amy Farrington | Phil Carvil | William Gault | James Mooney | John Leake - Sci-Tech Daresbury | STFC | Sci-Tech Daresbury | Medical Research Council | Medicines Discovery Catapult | UK Research and Innovation | Liverpool City Region Combined Authority
