Key actors within the ecosystem are illustrated below (Figure 1). We align with and complement other programme and services, for the benefit of the projects we support. We are integrated to the Enterprise division (at the Enterprise Lab) and share resources with colleagues at the MedTech Superconnector. Under the Academic Leadership of Prof Jeffers and Prof AMJ Bull, we also benefit from our complementary with Wellcome funded MedTechOne programmes, greatly leveraging the academic leadership and expertise in the MedTech Foundation (focused on training and resource development for ECRs) and MedTech Collaborative (focusing on supporting clinical adoption) streams through MedTechONE Executive Management Board.
The Accelerator programme is closely aligned with the DTPrime programme, focusing on commercialisation of Imperial Deep Technology research for medical technologies. In addition, Imperial College hosts the NIHR BRC Biomedical Engineering Theme and the NIHR London IVD Cooperative, with whom we partner with the aim of fostering collaborations between the Trust clinicians and the academic engineers and scientists.
