Cancer Tech Accelerator – Applications open for the Spring cohort!
Created by Cancer Research UK and Cancer Research Horizons with grant support from some of the UK’s leading cancer charities, this accelerator supports you to spin original research into a commercially viable startup.
The programme offers invaluable resources, 1:1 mentoring and workshops, access to industry and investment experts, a vibrant alumni network, and perk packages with leading labs and software providers.
More notably, there is the opportunity to compete for five, £50K grant funding awards to accelerate their projects, with two specific grants for blood cancer and brain cancer respectively, from our charity partners Blood Cancer UK and The Brain Tumour Charity. (Applicants within these two indications are only competing against each other–for example 3 projects in blood cancer competing for 1 grant versus 20 projects competing for 3 grants–as opposed to everyone in the agnostic grants, so there is a higher chance of grant award for projects in each of these respective cancer indications.)
We accept innovators, researchers, academics, and founders from all backgrounds, with no previous funding or experience needed to apply.
Applications are open until 10 April 2025.
