There's been lots of people moves in the first week of the year - check them out at https://lnkd.in/eS448shc - but some really interesting deal activity, too, and as JP Morgan's healthcare conference starts today it's interesting to see Vijay's CVS Health Ventures back WellBe, an independent provider of care in the home https://lnkd.in/ezZAyMEH This follows Nabla Copilot, an AI assistant for electronic health records, raising a $24m series B round led by Cathay Innovation, with participation from ZEBOX Ventures, a multi-corporate CVC set up by Gwen last year on behalf of shipping magnate from CMA CGM Group. There's a host of specialist firms, such as Ricardo at Takeda, now building out virtual care portfolios and plenty of CVCs from other sectors, such as Bertelsmann, and the big tech groups muscling in if they can. For understandable reasons, a lot of attention has been on the exciting techbio developments, but the point of care for treatment and pharmacy is where the rubber often hits the road in treatment and vital for greater innovation

“If the only tool you have is a hammer, you tend to see every problem as a nail.“ We are hosting a session for twelve expert innovators tomorrow (Tuesday 11:30am) as we explore the hows of innovation: - the discipline of innovation and its domains - merits and demerits of the innovation discipline - key considerations when we frame up an innovation challenge - preferred innovation approaches, methods and frameworks - reactions to facets of a multidisciplinary platform we are building It's all part of a venture and platform called The Compass & Compendium that tries to get to better knowledge and decisions, by matching approaches and methods to the specifics of professional challenges and opportunities. It's like a Rosetta Stone for making sense of the world. We have already met with three other disciplines, in this session we meet with the innovators, register here: https://lu.ma/9uw65zw8 #innovators #intrapreneurs #changeagents #businessmodellers #corporateinnovation #valuecreation #socialinnovation #openinnovation #futureproofing Note: even if you can't make the time, join the group and become part of our supersmart cell of innovators.

The man who built Manchester's Tech Startup Ecosystem from 2006 to 2013. 2 Exits. Runs 3 companies: Techcelerate (trusted tech founder network), Deal Lite (Intelligence) and SkilledUp Life (50,000 volunteers 4 startups)
Innovate UK and me 😀 I lost touch with Innovate UK leadership many years ago. Would be good to reconnect. Congrats Stella Peace for taking the helm. Just as a quick intro - I’m an independent assessor but over 11 years ago, used to run collaborative tech founder centric events in Manchester and the North West through Techcelerate. I think those days you were called Technology Strategy Board, if I recall. Love to explore future collaborations if Innovate UK is open. Couple of things I like to suggest: - InnovateUK has made a significant difference to British companies, especially early stage tech startups. Most of these companies seek funding for cloud infrastructure. I see hefty asks in grant applications. Wouldn't it make sense to strike deals with Amazon Web Services (AWS) Google Cloud Platform and Microsoft Azure ? Of course, local cloud infrastructure companies will protest against this (and we should support them), but the savings can be used to support more grant applicants. These three companies provide cloud credits (there are many dangers with cloud credits - but that's a conversation for another day) and many applicants seem to be unaware of them. - A new industry has evolved in grant writing. This means, first time applicants who are not savvy in grant writing but with great innovations may not get through as they lack the skills in art of writing. More and more AI is creeping in. I'm sure Innovate UK must have discussed this issues internally. I know one day the assessor role will be undertaken by AI. I am not sure where this would lead to as AI assessing an AI written application. But it's worth a discussion. - From a grant assessor point of view, it would be helpful if we know which of the grants one assessed that got through. Whilst there is guidance on scoring, this vital feedback loop is missing. I believe this feature can easily be added on the Dashboard with a record of grants assessed. If you are a tech startup reading this post, please continue to apply for InnovateUK grant applications. They have helped many tech companies. Couple of tech founders who benefited from grant funding from Techcelerate include Andrew Threlfall and Taz Aldawoud. #InnovateUK #grantfunding #grants #ukgrants
Today, our CEO Indro Mukerjee hands over to Dr. Stella Peace who takes over leadership of Innovate UK. Over the last 3.5 years, Indro has actively shaped this system of Innovate UK, Innovate UK Business Connect, the Innovate UK Catapult network and our Business Growth services, to create even greater impact and growth for UK businesses, innovators and investors. As an organisation, we always balance doing the best for business with a strong sense of respect for the public money we spend. Reflecting on his time, Indro shared: "Over the past 3.5 years of leading Innovate UK, I’ve had the privilege of meeting many remarkable people, from founders and innovators to local and national leaders and our own people, whose passion and creativity have not only shaped our work but have also inspired me personally. Their drive for change has continually strengthened my belief in the power of innovation. I’m so grateful for having had the opportunity to lead this incredible organisation and play my part in shaping the kind of economy and broader society we all want and need." Examples of Innovate UK’s work can be found here: https://lnkd.in/djGFXr47 Indro’s work has been widely recognised by stakeholders, employees and by our business networks as having transformed the organisation, and we know that he will continue being a strong voice for UK business, inclusive innovation and missions for growth in the future. Dr Stella Peace, incoming leader, said: "I’m pleased to take on this role, building on the progress and many achievements of Indro’s leadership. Innovate UK will continue working with others in driving growth and creating opportunities for businesses, innovators, places and communities across the country driving new opportunities and growth.” We’d like to thank Indro for his leadership and take this opportunity to publicly wish him all the best for his future.

As biotech and medtech companies continue to evolve, one thing remains clear: the integration of innovation and governance is crucial for long-term success. Having had the privilege of serving on multiple boards during critical junctures—most recently, Morphic Therapeutic's successful acquisition by Lilly—I’ve seen firsthand the importance of strong, informed leadership at the intersection of science, finance, and corporate strategy. As we enter a new era of personalized medicine and advanced technologies, the role of the board in guiding not just financial outcomes but also ethical, clinical, and strategic innovations is more critical than ever. In my experience, fostering collaboration between clinical innovators and corporate leadership can unlock new opportunities and drive meaningful progress. Looking forward to connecting with forward-thinking organizations that are ready to elevate their impact!
