Medtech & Diagnostics grants
Non-dilutive capital for devices, diagnostics and digital health
Device and diagnostic companies burn capital long before revenue, which makes grant funding the most efficient money on the table. Innovate UK, NIHR and Horizon Europe's Health cluster all fund medtech, but each rewards a different story. Clinical need, technical novelty, or NHS operational relevance, choosing the wrong route costs a year.

What assessors actually score
- Clear separation of technical risk from regulatory risk
- Bench data that supports the feasibility claim, not just the vision
- Evidence of clinical demand from named NHS or clinical users, not market reports
