🌏 We are teaming up with the National Health Innovation Centre Singapore (NHIC) to fast-track healthcare innovations across the UK and Singapore that address unmet, shared clinical needs. Opening on 14 October 2026, the i4i-LeapX joint funding opportunity from our Invention for Innovation (i4i) programme and NHIC’s LeapX programme, will support the development and use of later-stage health innovations towards clinical impact and commercialisation. By backing national health priorities for both nations, we are ensuring patients benefit from cutting-edge research and transformative health solutions. 💬 As Professor Lucy Chappell, Chief Executive Officer of the NIHR and Chief Scientific Adviser at @DHSCgovuk, said: "In our 20th anniversary year, this partnership with the NHIC underscores the NIHR’s commitment to driving innovations that transform patient care. "The i4i-LeapX cross-border funding opportunity will directly support the UK’s 10-Year Health Plan by leveraging AI, digital and preventative technologies to shift care from hospitals into the community. "This partnership is an excellent example of international collaboration – together, we are fast-tracking groundbreaking healthtech to get proven treatments to patients faster and improve lives in both nations."
