Reimagining Healthcare Through The Acceleration Of Digital Start-Ups

Our Challenge To The Start-Up Community

Merck Sharp & Dohme Limited (MSD), a global healthcare company that is looking to transform healthcare through innovative solutions, and Wayra Open Future, Telefonica’s digital start up accelerator, are investing in digital innovation in healthcare to address the challenges outlined in the NHS Five Year Forward View¹.

We’re challenging the digital start-up community to create solutions that reimagine how healthcare can be delivered in the United Kingdom to help improve patient outcomes.

Up to a total of £64K will be offered in investment to a selected number of start-ups which will include 50 per cent funds and the rest made up of dedicated acceleration services such as access to a network of mentors, coaches and investors. This will also include office space within Wayra Open Future’s academy in Central London and potentially, access to Telefonica’s customer base (more than 300 million) and MSD’s networks locally and globally.
