Advice & Support

As part of our commitment to supporting industry growth and innovation, the CHI-Zone offers comprehensive Advice & Support. Eligible HealthTech businesses can receive up to 12 hours of expert consultancy free of charge, subject to an initial consultation meeting with our team. Our advisors combine experience in market research, product development, health economics, commercialisation and regulatory compliance. This service is designed to provide focused, actionable guidance — whether you need input on technical challenges, clinical trial design or user engagement strategies.

In addition to one-to-one support, we deliver targeted workshops providing practical insights into MVP design and development, evidence generation and evaluation. Our aim is to help you refine your development path, avoid common pitfalls and engage more successfully with health and care systems – both in the UK and around the world. No matter your stage - idea, prototype or market-ready product - we can help you ask the right questions, define clear objectives and optimise your approach. We can help you accelerate progress and bring clarity to complex innovation pathways.
