The UK Healthy Ageing Innovation Consortium (UK HAIC) is a national partnership of 21 universities, NHS Trusts, local authorities, and industry working to accelerate innovation that helps people live healthier, longer lives. By connecting organisations across sectors, the consortium turns promising ideas into real‑world solutions that improve health and wellbeing across the life course.
We’re delighted to highlight UK HAIC’s third networking event at the University of Leicester, bringing together innovators, researchers, clinicians, local government, and third‑sector organisations from across the region.
Why it matters:
• Build new partnerships
• Share insights and challenges
• Explore cross‑sector collaboration
• Accelerate impactful healthy‑ageing products and services
When academia, industry, public services, and community organisations come together, we create the conditions for meaningful innovation and strengthen the ecosystem needed to support healthy ageing for everyone.
