Who qualifies for our help?

We work with organisations developing health and social care innovations that will benefit patients, improve NHS Wales, and boost the Welsh economy.

Our tailored support is available to academics, industry partners, clinicians, local authorities, and charities.

We're looking to support funding applications with the following criteria: 

  • Your innovation must focus on benefiting health and social care, with demonstrable impact for Wales.
  • While applications from academic institution or health boards do not always need to be collaborative, involving multiple organisations is encouraged and can enhance your application.
  • If you are a business seeking our support, your application must be in collaboration with another organisation, such as an academic institution or a health board.
  • If you require financial support other than grant funding, we can direct you to Business Wales and/or Development Bank of Wales.
