Who is the Launchpad programme for?
Designed for early-stage companies nearing launch, the DigitalHealth.London Launchpad programme helps innovators refine and launch new digital health products and services with high potential to meet the current NHS and social care challenges. We are especially eager to welcome founders from diverse backgrounds.

The DigitalHealth.London Launchpad programme is part-funded by the UK Government via the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF). It is delivered by the Health Innovation Network (HIN) South London in partnership with the Office of Life Sciences, CW+, Medcity, NHS England and the Mayor of London.

Success stories
Being part of the DigitalHealth.London Launchpad programme has helped us enormously and the education, contacts and growth opportunities the programme has provided us with have been pivotal to us reaching this stage.
Thank you DigitalHealth.London for making our launch possible! We highly recommend the Launchpad programme. It really gave us the support and guidance we needed at a crucial time in our business development.
We were lucky enough to join the December 2019 induction of the launchpad, and have benefitted from a number of in depth discussions with leads from across the NHS, from IG to Digital, which was all super helpful in guiding us towards our launch. Since then, we’ve been in keeping in touch with others in our cohort to ask & answer questions as we all move forwards together.
