Warwick Business Partnerships

Partnerships and Engagement

Collaboration and partnership are key to solving real-world problems and addressing health issues in our society.

Our established reputation for developing pioneering partnerships means that we can bring together the brightest minds to work collaboratively and make a difference.

There are many opportunities to partner or engage with us. By working together, we can ensure that our activity will have significant impact on society, whether that’s through research collaborations that tackle innovation challenges, knowledge exchange across disciplines and with organisations and health innovation businesses, or engaging with government and policymakers.

Institute for Translational Medicine

The Warwick Institute for Translational Medicine (ITM) will be a key component of our proposed regional innovation ecosystem.

The Institute supports the research and clinical communities in translating research findings and new ideas into practical human health benefits, such as new therapeutics, devices, and diagnostics. This will bring together diverse partners under translational health missions, focusing on challenges that matter to the patients and populations we serve.

West Midlands Health and Wellbeing Innovation Network

More than ever, it is crucial that health and social care challenges are solved efficiently and effectively. The West Midlands Health and Wellbeing Innovation Network was formed to address this need. Now part of the West Midlands Innovation Accelerator project led by the University of Birmingham, the Network works across the footprint of the West Midlands Combined Authority to discover innovative solutions and deliver collaborative innovation programmes.

Arden Health Partners (AHP)

AHP is an academic-health partnership covering Coventry and Warwickshire, with coverage into Herefordshire and Worcestershire, established to improve health and wellbeing outcomes in our region and to facilitate increased investment to support diverse health initiatives. The founding partners are the University of Warwick, Coventry University, the Coventry and Warwickshire Integrated Care System (ICS) and our 3 local NHS Trusts (University Hospital Coventry & Warwickshire, South Warwickshire University Foundation Trust and the Coventry & Warwickshire Partnership Trust). Health Innovation West Midlands will also be supporting the partnership. During 2024/25, the AHP will be officially launched with a series of workstreams focussing on priority areas.

Spin-outs

50% of active University of Warwick Spin-Out companies are in health-related fields. These include companies specialising in areas such as digitally enabled pathology, data capture in clinical trials of complex interventions and relevant research, resorbable biomaterials, ready-to-use cells for drug discovery and toxicology, and transdermal drug delivery. The University provides a range of services to support staff and students in their commercialisation journey, and we are seeing a strong pipeline of future health tech opportunities emerge from our internationally-recognised research teams.
