LYVA Labs, in partnership with Innovate UK and a consortium of internationally recognised scientific, technical, and commercial experts, is proud to deliver the Innovate UK Biomedical Catalyst Accelerator - Future Medicines.

The Biomedical Catalyst is Innovate UK’s flagship grant funding mechanism, designed to accelerate innovation and help UK companies bring products to market more efficiently.

As part of the Innovate UK Biomedical Catalyst, the Future Medicines Accelerator supports SMEs, spinouts, and academic innovators working in therapeutics to develop and test innovative health and care solutions. The cohort receive tailored support to refine their ideas, explore market viability, and prepare for clinical or commercial validation. Alongside this participants are also trained in investment readiness, grant writing and have access to funded technical support with our programme partners.
