This exciting first of its kind Cancer Challenge is a collaboration between the SBRI Centre of Excellence in Wales and the Innovation and Market Development Unit in Northern Ireland. The challenge seeks innovations that lead to earlier, faster diagnosis, reduction in waiting times, improvements to the efficiency and efficacy of treatment and support palliative care.

Current funding of £1,000,000 is available to a portfolio of projects (which may be subject to change, dependent upon the number/quality of submissions received). We’re seeking a broad range of projects, from rapid or low-cost demonstrations to large scale demonstrators.
