We are Health Innovation Manchester, an academic health science and innovation system, at the forefront of transforming the health and wellbeing of Greater Manchester’s 2.8 million citizens.

Health Innovation Manchester has developed over the last four years to create a world-leading integrated health science and innovation system. Formed in October 2017, HInM brought together the former Greater Manchester academic health science network (GM AHSN) and Manchester Academic Health Science Centre (MAHSC) under a single umbrella.

In October 2019, the NIHR Applied Research Collaboration Greater Manchester (ARC-GM) joined us, conducting pivotal research into new and better ways of promoting health, delivering care and supporting the economic sustainability of the system. We harness these capabilities, alongside digital and industry expertise, through an innovation pipeline and delivery method to accelerate at scale, with projects directly aligned to Greater Manchester’s transformation priorities.

Our mission is to become a recognised international leader in accelerating innovation that transforms the health and wellbeing of our citizens. We work with innovators to discover, develop and deploy new solutions, harnessing the transformative power of health and care, industry and academia working together to address major challenges and tackle inequalities.
