The Northern Health Science Alliance has signed an agreement to bring Israeli health and medical technology innovations to the North of England.
The joint-working arrangement will support Israeli healthcare companies establishing research and a presence in the UK, specifically in the North of England.
Head of Corporate Affairs for the Northern Health Science Alliance (NHSA) Suzanne Ali-Hassan signed the MOU with the British Ambassador to Israel David Quarrey. She said: “We’re thrilled to be signing this memorandum of understanding with the UK Israel Tech Hub which will open up the North of England to innovative and cutting-edge Israeli health technology. There are well over 1,400 life science and healthcare companies in Israel whose innovations have the potential to bring great benefits to the North’s hospitals and patient population.
NHSA will provide support to the Israeli companies identified by UK Israel Tech Hub to access the UK clinical research environment in the North of England. This will support companies to build a business case for their technology when entering the UK, helping them to engage with health research professionals, health economic teams and clinical expertise for the development and validation of their technology within a NHS health system.
The UK Israel Tech Hub will support and help in accessing and identify funding for Israeli companies to secure partnerships with the UK clinical research environment in the North of England, as well as support the developing partnerships and collaborations via the NHSA.
