The Ambitious Essex Innovation Accelerator has now closed. If you would like to find out more on how we can help your innovative journey, please get in touch with Medilink Midlands.
The Ambitious Essex Innovation Accelerator was designed to help transform early-stage ideas into viable business ventures. Aimed towards ambitious teams with groundbreaking ideas within Essex, from those still refining a concept or ready to take the first steps towards incorporation. For innovators with a vision for a business that can make a difference. The accelerator programme provided pre-startup companies, the foundational support needed to navigate the initial and often most challenging phase of business development.

“Ambitious Essex is all about how we can get on the ground, helping businesses with really tangible support. Essex has lots of fantastic innovators in downstream life sciences… there are huge and expanding areas of life sciences, especially around the intersection between digital technologies and around medical devices.”
Jack Daniels
Sector Growth Lead at Essex County Council
“Medilink Midlands has given me lots of useful advice to develop the product, get it through clinical studies and trials to ensure we have something that is going to be useful for the public and is actually verified.”

“Essex County Council has a major challenge with a huge care ‘ask’. An ageing population is a global problem so we’re looking to support and facilitate the growth of businesses that will develop technology based care solutions that will improve and support the lives of our care recipients, and offer businesses growth opportunities.”
Michael Veasey
Sector Growth Manager at Essex County Council
“This programme is really helpful, not just in the way of knowledge but also connections. I think it’s fantastic. We really get into the details… from prototype, to validation, to verification and how we can do it.”
