Descriptiontext

Healthy Ageing Innovate is a Healthy Ageing Challenge Community of Practice operating within Innovate UK Business Connect (the trading name of The Knowledge Transfer Network Limited). It functions as part of the UK's publicly-funded innovation intermediary, convening businesses, researchers, investors, and public-sector partners to advance innovation in healthy ageing. The broader platform it sits within is formally designated as the strategic delivery partner to Innovate UK / UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) and serves as 'the home of the UK's innovation networks,' operating across 25+ UK sectors including Health, Life Sciences, Biotechnology, Energy, Space, Defence, Quantum, and Robotics & AI.

The entity's 'products' are facilitation services and programmes rather than commercial software. These include Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (running for 45+ years, linking businesses to the UK's research base), ICURe (commercialisation support for research spin-outs), Horizon Europe guidance, Contracts for Innovation (public-sector procurement), the Ofgem Strategic Innovation Fund, and curated international programmes such as Global Business Innovation Programme visits to Finland (SLUSH 2026) and India, plus European Space Agency and Innovative Health Initiative (IHI) funding calls — including IHI's topic on the immuno-science of diseases affected by ageing.

The business model is grant- and publicly-funded rather than commercially revenue-generating. Headcount is stated at 1–10 employees and no pricing, revenue, or commercial customer data is disclosed. Customer segments are horizontal: UK-based businesses (from startups to large enterprises) and research institutions seeking funding access, partnership development, and commercialisation support. Go-to-market is community-led, driven through sector landing pages, email newsletters, events, webinars, and direct expert engagement.
