Boot Camp helps Nordic company to expand into the UK
Opening doors for innovators from overseas
Our flagship international offer, the Propel @ YH Boot Camp, champions highvalue innovation and supports entry into the UK healthcare market. It provides innovators with expert masterclasses, 1-2-1 coaching and support, and access to a vast network of supporting partners and NHS stakeholders in our region. During 2024, we held two Boot Camps and supported 12 international innovators from the Nordic region and Canada.
Our 2024 Nordic boot camp is the second time we’ ve worked in partnership with Norway HealthTech. Since the programme, four of the innovators have set up a business in the UK, nine jobs have been created, and £ 2.8m of investment has been raised and brought into the region. One company, Peili Vision, has established a base within the University of Leeds’ Nexus building, hired a UK manager, and secured a contract to provide its Children’ s ADHD digital solution to all the schools in Leeds.
Boot Camp helps Nordic company to expand into the UK
Peili Vision is a software company specialising in neurological assessment tools. Its product EFSim is a web-based simulation game that assesses the executive function skills of 8-13-year-olds linked to ADHD.
The company joined eight small to medium-sized enterprises( SMEs) as part of our fifth international Propel @ YH Boot Camp which seeks to bring the best health innovations from around the world into the UK, so that the Yorkshire and Humber region can be the first to benefit from them.
Peili Vision has now opened an office in Leeds, in the very same Nexus building where Propel @ YH was delivered. The company has received Launchpad funding for West Yorkshire and has started school pilots in Leeds. Currently, they are in discussions with various contacts within the region, including the Integrated Care Boards, with the ambition to broaden their services for child and adolescent mental health.
