Impact of the Accelerator 

The ABHI US Accelerator has generated significant results, with over $150 million in business won by participating companies. On average, companies expect to generate more than $15 million in business over five years due to their involvement in the programme.  

Satisfaction among participants is high, with 100% recommending the programme and achieving their objectives. The ABHI US Accelerator has also facilitated over 70 clinical trials or pilot studies across 12 US states and supported high-level transatlantic health system engagements. 

The ABHI US Accelerator has also promoted inward investment, bringing over 15 US-based companies to the UK to engage with NHS hospitals. 

Paul Benton, Managing Director - International, ABHI said: 

“Over the past eight years, our US Accelerator has helped over 150 UK HealthTech companies to successfully enter and expand in the US market. I’m looking forward to the next 20 companies benefiting from our trade missions and partnerships with 70 healthcare systems and thousands of hospitals in the US. 

“What really makes our Accelerator stand out is our team of US mentors and learning programmes that help companies refine and validate their market strategies and ensure they are ready to have the right conversations. That is what helps our cohorts of companies develop true international collaborations that deliver tangible impact. Let’s get started!” 

Ruben Rathnasingham, Assistant Dean for Health Product Innovation, Dell Medical School said: 

“We are proud of our longstanding partnership with ABHI and their extensive network in the US. Together, we aim to identify and support promising UK-based innovations that improve health outcomes and empower communities.
