International Health Ventures from Meridan unveils groundbreaking transatlantic fund focused on the health technology sector.

Meridian Health Ventures, previously known as KHP Ventures, has announced a new transatlantic fund aimed at supporting early-stage health technology companies with the potential to scale between the US and UK markets. The focus is on innovations that can address challenges within the National Health Service (NHS) in the UK.

The fund brings together leading health systems, venture investors, institutional investors, and academic centers of excellence to accelerate healthtech innovation. By providing capital and strategic support, the fund aims to help startups navigate regulatory pathways and NHS procurement, thus driving growth opportunities within the NHS ecosystem.

The portfolio of Meridian Health Ventures includes a variety of leading health tech companies, such as Doccla, deepc, Patchwork, Tympa Health, Apian, iFAST Diagnostics, PocDoc, Phare Health, 52 North, and MediShout. Many of these companies are expanding globally, with numerous partners in US health systems like Cedars-Sinai.

Cedars-Sinai Medical Center sees its partnership with Meridian Health Ventures as deeply aligned with its mission to provide the best care possible for patients around the world. Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust, King's College Hospital, University College London Hospitals, and Hartford HealthCare are among the partners in the fund.

Meridian Health Ventures has already invested in MedTech spin-outs from Cambridge, Oxford, Imperial, King's, and Southampton, with 12 NHS clinical entrepreneurs among its company founders. The fund's goal is to help healthtech companies generate real-world data and evidence for adoption within broader UK and US healthcare environments.

The NHS is currently facing challenges in delivering high-quality care against rising demand, increased patient acuity, and pressures on workforce and finance. By supporting healthtech innovation, Meridian Health Ventures aims to provide global and domestic growth opportunities for healthtech superscalers, supercharging the growth of promising innovations for direct benefits to the NHS's patients and workforce, as well as the wider UK economy.

While the specifics of the fund's impact on UK healthtech innovation and growth opportunities in the NHS market are not yet fully detailed, the fund is expected to facilitate cross-border collaboration and knowledge exchange between the US and UK healthtech sectors, enable promising UK healthtech companies to access a larger market and additional funding sources, support the NHS in adopting new technologies that improve patient care and system efficiency, and drive innovation-led growth, creating jobs, and enhancing the UK’s position as a healthtech hub.
