Following the success of previous STEP INto Healthcare afternoon Masterclasses, and following feedback from attendees, the GC Business Growth Hub Life Science Support Team at TRUSTECH have developed two more fully-funded Funding Masterclasses to help support Greater Manchester SMEs who want access to the NHS market to introduce new and innovative products. This support is provided through the European Union Regional Development Fund (ERDF).

This Health Innovation Manchester Momentum Funding Masterclass will be focusing on the upcoming HinM funding call launching on the 7 November. The Momentum Fund has been established to support the introduction and adoption of needs-led, evidence-based innovations into our healthcare system within the Health Innovation Manchester footprint. This will improve the health of our citizens and also promote economic development and wealth creation through the growth of local businesses and jobs.

The Momentum Fund is specifically designed to provide funding support to help SMEs with innovative products or services accelerate progress to significant milestones. These innovations must be either market ready or close to market ready.

STEP INto Healthcare is an intensive support programme for Life Science SMEs in Greater Manchester and Cheshire East. The programme is provided by Health Innovation Manchester, the Business Growth Hub and Trustech.
