About this Event
At the Health Innovation Leeds Incubator Ignition event we asked what support you, our community of innovators, would find most useful to boost business growth.
We're delighted to begin a new series of workshops that reflect these needs, topics and ambitions.
Providing practical insights for early-stage, scale-ups, and established healthtech businesses, the sessions are designed to be interactive - with plenty of opportunities to connect with peers and experts across industry, academia and the NHS. Attendees will also explore real-life case studies to expand their knowledge and skills. 🧠
