Bradford to lead high tech health start-ups

    A new Bradford-based enterprise support programme is set to attract and develop innovative health and social technology companies in the region after receiving funding from Bradford Council and the European Regional Development Fund.

    The Northern MAX (short for Northern Market Access Accelerator) is an intensive development programme designed to unlock regional potential by providing innovative start-ups with the latest technological advice, product development and business modelling support.

    The programme was launched at the Smart Cities World Congress, a world-leading innovation conference in Barcelona this week, putting Bradford firmly on the global health innovation map.

    In January 2018, twenty firms will be enrolled on Northern MAX which will be run in Little Germany by Bradford University’s Digital Health Enterprise Zone and Innov8tive Minds who have extensive global experience in delivering innovation and entrepreneurial support.
