Biomedical Catalyst Accelerator Provider Pool EoI: early stage

Innovate UK, part of UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), is seeking expressions of interest to establish an approved provider pool to support delivery of the Biomedical Catalyst Accelerator Programme. The aim of this competition is to identify experienced providers with a proven track record of designing and delivering end to end accelerator programmes for innovative UK registered micro, small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs). This early stage accelerator strand specifically seeks applicants who can demonstrate experience of delivering programmes supporting early stage innovative human health SMEs, including ideation, business model development, customer discovery and early commercial validation. Providers may be called upon over a period of up to three years to support programme delivery, subject to specific themes and requirements. There is no immediate funding in this expression of interest competition, but total eligible project costs for any future funding will be 100% funded. Future accelerators are expected to support 10-15 participants per programme with total costs up to £500,000.
