SME consultation in the digital health, artificial intelligence, MedTech and in vitro diagnostics arena.

NIHR is delighted to host a face to face consultation with SMEs in the digital health, artificial intelligence, MedTech and in vitro diagnostics arena to gather views on how NIHR can better respond to small and medium enterprises’ needs and help shape NIHR’s future strategy, whether they have worked with NIHR before or not. The intention is to identify improvements to our current approach and any new NIHR initiatives that SMEs could benefit from.

The NIHR has a broad offer of support for SMEs, helping them to generate the required clinical and economic evidence to progress the development of their health and care innovations towards the market. The NIHR’s offer extends beyond crucial funding programmes needed to advance technologies to market, and includes access to research expertise and facilities for clinical evaluation, study design, patient engagement and much more.

You will have the opportunity to have your voice heard, ask questions to senior leaders at NIHR during the consultation and afterwards there will be an opportunity to network.
