A platform that has empowered Indian companies to gain insights into the UK's health ecosystem, develop robust market access strategies, and establish potential overseas partnerships. The event this year is being organised in collaboration with UK’s government national health agencies and the Bhubaneswar City Knowledge Innovation Cluster Foundation. The Bootcamp aims to empower Indian startups and companies with the ecosystem knowledge and connections needed to grow their respective businesses in the UK's health market, and to continue their product refinement and global expansion journey.
