We believe innovation will drive growth and create jobs in our region – if we create the right environment to unlock it.
LYVA Labs was created to provide innovation investment and support for ideas, people and projects that are transforming the region and taking us to a new tomorrow.
With the help of commercial and sector-focussed experts, we have created a streamlined process for early stage investment.
We will work with stakeholders across the Liverpool City Region to create an ecosystem of high growth companies and innovation.


What we do
LYVA Labs provides innovation investment and support for ideas and technologies being developed here in the Liverpool City Region.
We aim to provide entrepreneurs and innovators with a route to early-stage investment and a platform on which their ideas can be developed.
We were created to support health and life science innovation, but our ambition goes beyond that. Our goal is to support the wider innovation community, to find solutions to global problems, and to improve the lives of those who live and work in the region.
Who we work with
We are looking to engage clinicians, academics and entrepreneurs in the health and life sciences sectors, so they can develop their ideas and improve the region’s health outcomes.
Our future focus will include bespoke consultancy, support, collaboration and investment opportunities for the wider innovation community in the region.





£7.5m secured for health and life science innovators
LCR Ventures will launch LYVA Labs in the spring of 2022 to help early stage innovators turn their ideas into reality and create 100 jobs in Liverpool City Region.
