Invest in Manchester
Full Credential Description
Health Innovation Manchester (HInM) partnered with the Government of Telangana to address specific healthcare challenges through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed on February 25, 2025, during the BioAsia event in Hyderabad. This collaboration aims to foster economic growth and innovation by developing advanced products, treatments, diagnostics, and digital tools that enhance patient experiences and outcomes.
The partnership is particularly significant as it marks HInM's first formal international collaboration with a government outside the UK, aligning with a broader strategy to position Greater Manchester as a global leader in healthcare innovation. The agreement facilitates the exchange of knowledge and resources, which is expected to support life-changing clinical trials and real-world studies. Telangana, recognized as a leading life science hub in Asia, hosts over 100 pharmaceutical and biotech companies and numerous life science incubators, creating a robust environment for research and development.
Key stakeholders, including Andrea Winders from MIDAS and Professor Ben Bridgewater from HInM, emphasized the importance of this collaboration in creating new opportunities for knowledge exchange and joint development of solutions that benefit both regions. The initiative is anticipated to enhance healthcare capabilities and accelerate access to novel innovations, ultimately improving local healthcare and patient outcomes in both Greater Manchester and Telangana.
