Delivered by Innovate UK EDGE, the programme consists of a preparation phase, a five-day innovation visit focussed on Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR), a post-visit exploitation workshop and support for approximately 12 months from an Innovate UK EDGE Innovation and Growth Specialist.

Innovate UK is committed to improving the diversity of who we support. As such, we welcome applications from under-represented groups.

Why Germany & Switzerland?

Germany is a key player in AMR; its Federal Ministry of Health invested more than EUR 56 million to fund the German Antibiotic Resistance Strategy to develop new treatments for bacterial infections and currently hosts the secretariat for the Global AMR Research and Development Collaboration Hub.

The 7th AMR Conference will be held in Basel, Switzerland focusing on Novel Antimicrobials & AMR Diagnostics. The innovation visit will include access to both days of the conference providing opportunities to hear from world-leading AMR experts, as well as 1-to-1 matchmaking meetings to find new collaborators and partners and to grow your business.
