UCL Global Business School for Health

Across the world, there is a new appreciation that health innovation is essential for driving forward better quality and access to healthcare. Yet, there is a huge funding gap especially for low and middle-income countries (LMICs). With the demand for innovation, we are seeing an increase in the use of capital and private equity markets for funding health innovation.

Health systems as well as start-ups in HealthTech and hospitals are collaborating with private equity firms to finance health innovation. In this webinar, we ask a panel of financial experts and innovators to address the question of whether capital and private equity markets are actually driving forward better and sustainable health innovation.
