Disruption in life sciences – accelerating deep technology across the life sciences sector
Care and HealthTech Bridge powered by Barclays Eagle Labs funded by UK Government
Developed in collaboration with CodeBase, our Care and HealthTech Bridge programme, will bring together some of the UK’s leading corporations and promising startups to discover different approaches to collaboration and disruption in the healthcare sector.
With people living longer, and doing so with major health conditions, there’s never been a better time for disruption. This programme is aimed at businesses whose model is based on deep tech such as innovation in engineering, or significant scientific advances.

Why join?
Technology plays a huge part in improving and enhancing the health and life sciences sectors. Deep tech, such as artificial intelligence and machine learning, can provide solutions that transform the way we deliver patient care. It can also help us use available data to understand problem areas better and make more accurate and efficient medical diagnoses. Wearable tech can improve health monitoring in real time, while improving technology infrastructure can help patients access a better-connected healthcare system.
We understand it can be difficult for larger companies and startups to find each other in order to collaborate, so the programme helps participants make the connections, to help them tackle some of the challenges the industry is facing.
How is the programme delivered?
The programme is delivered in seven modules. There will be virtual seminars each month, where senior leaders from established companies and startup founders, will discuss disruptive tech solutions and how some of today’s biggest societal healthcare challenges can be solved.
Each of the seven modules is designed to teach you about strategic approaches and innovation best practice. The modules will be delivered by experts on topics such as:
- The partnership journey
- Developing and landing a proof of concept
- Mergers and acquisitions
- Lived industry experience.
Who’s it for?
The programme is designed to bring together leaders from established life science companies with startups in the UK. All participants must be working on solving some of society’s biggest health challenges through disruptive technologies.
Our programme welcomes participants from life sciences businesses – from startups and founders to senior leaders in larger organisations, who can implement change management and harness innovation.
