Bionow is more than a partner, they’re a powerhouse. With a network spanning over 1,000 life sciences and biomedical companies, they’re a connective tissue of the North’s innovation economy. In 2025, they’re doubling down on founder-first support with a bold new slate of initiatives. But it’s not just about events, it’s about acceleration. This year, Bionow launched the Biomedical Catalyst Accelerator, a high-impact programme designed to fast-track early-stage health and life sciences ventures. At Climb26, they’re bringing that same founder-first energy to ClimbHealth with curated sessions, high-impact networking, and a presence that turns conversations into collaborations.
Medilink UK is the strategic engine behind some of the UK’s most ambitious healthtech scaleups. With over 1,600 members and a reach of more than 48,000 industry contacts, they’re not just a connector, they’re a catalyst for commercial success. In 2025, they’re rolling out the HealthTech Growth Hub, a national initiative designed to help medtech founders navigate regulatory hurdles, secure funding, and scale into new markets. It’s hands-on, high-impact, and built for speed. Their recent collaboration with the NHS Innovation Accelerator is unlocking new pathways for procurement and adoption, critical for startups looking to move from prototype to patient. They’re also launching a new series of regional innovation sprints, designed to fast-track partnerships between SMEs and NHS Trusts. And with the Medilink UK Healthcare Business Awards 2026 on the horizon, they’re spotlighting the sector’s most exciting breakthroughs. At Climb26, Medilink UK is bringing their A-game with sessions that cut through the noise and deliver real-world strategies. Expect sharp insights, curated connections, and a partner that’s as ambitious as the founders they support.
At Climb26, both partners are delivering sessions, sprints, and networking that turn ideas into action.
