Innovation Management Services
At Health Tech Enterprise (HTE), we advise and support healthcare organisations in identifying and developing innovative ideas that address unmet clinical needs. With extensive experience in intellectual property (IP) management and the commercialisation of new medical technologies – including devices, diagnostics, and digital health – we help foster a culture of innovation within NHS Trusts and other public sector organisations.
Founded in 2004 by Royal Papworth NHS Foundation Trust as part of a national NHS Innovation Hub network, HTE has grown to serve both the NHS and other public sector healthtech innovators. Our track record includes 130+ commercial deals and over £20M in investment raised to support healthcare innovations.
We’re committed to helping healthtech innovations reach their full potential and deliver real benefits to patients. Today, we work with a growing network of NHS Trusts across England, and a wide range of universities, offering tailored IP and commercialisation services delivered by our expert team.
