The scale-up of a digital business and enterprise community in med tech, therapeutics and digital health requires co-stimulation of intellectual and commercial curiosity to mobilise the research base. Therefore, the focus of Connect: Health Tech UEZ is to:
Build an efficient navigation system and digital platform for the cluster which gives access and supports stakeholders in finding the right part of the ecosystem for their interests and needs.
Establish physical drop-in/hang out spaces across campuses which are open to all and used by leading figures to enhance the sense of community across disciplines.
Provide a gateway to a collated and bespoke programme of physical and digital networking events that cross disciplines and sectors and stimulates the identification of common goals.
Map, sign-post and increase access to training, resources and collaboration tools which equip the community with the skills necessary for effective collaboration and entrepreneurship.
Develop real-life showcases of successful academic-business collaborations and enterprise success stories.
