The Institute of Global Health Innovation’s annual Health Innovation Prize offers UK university students the opportunity to showcase their ideas to improve global health and to win £10,000 funding to accelerate their development.
Applications are in, and the shortlisting panel has chosen five finalists to take part in the final, Dragon’s Den-style event.
Each finalist will present a lightning pitch followed by a Q&A from our expert judges.
The winner will be announced on the IGHI website and social media.
