Brokering

At Health Innovation North East North Cumbria (HI NENC), our role as a trusted broker is crucial to advancing healthcare innovation. We strategically connect the NHS, industry, and academia to ensure innovators are matched with the right partners and resources, no matter where they are on their jour
