The Yorkshire MedTech Impact Accelerator supports academics across regional and national universities to bridge the gap between primary research and clinical implementation.

We offer three tiers of funding—from £15k for market validation through to £120k for Proof of Concept—alongside funding secondment opportunities for knowledge exchange plus training and events.

Funded by EPSRC and led jointly by the Universities of Leeds and Sheffield, we strengthen the region’s thriving MedTech ecosystem by providing the crucial translational link—advancing innovations to drive measurable impact for patients and healthcare systems.
