Grow MedTech is a major UK programme providing specialist support for innovation in medical technologies, involving a consortium of six universities across the Leeds and Sheffield City Regions.
We are a collaboration between the Universities of Bradford, Huddersfield, Leeds Beckett, Sheffield Hallam and York, led by the University of Leeds and funded through the Research England Connecting Capability Fund.
By combining the different strengths of our partner universities in medical and related digital technologies, innovation and commercialisation, we are providing capacity and capability in medtech that far exceeds that offered by a single institution.

Our consortium involves six universities across the Leeds and Sheffield City Regions: Bradford, Huddersfield, Leeds, Leeds Beckett, Sheffield Hallam and York. We bring together the different strengths of our partner universities to provide capacity and capability in medtech that far exceeds that offered by a single institution.
Each of our technology innovation managers is based in one of our partner universities, but they work collectively as a team, connecting with academics, companies and clinicians from across the regions. So wherever you make your first contact with Grow MedTech, you are accessing the opportunities and expertise provided across our whole network.
One of our most important roles is to act as partnership brokers, proactively connecting people from academia, industry and clinical practice to collaborate more effectively in developing new medical technologies.
Through these partnerships and collaborations, we are nurturing a vibrant regional, medtech community across the Leeds and Sheffield City Regions.
Alongside our partnership universities and our connections to industry, we also link into the wider network of healthcare innovation support organisations across the regions, to create added value.
