Supporting health and care business growth in Liverpool City Region.
This programme is part funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF)
Liverpool City Region Health Matters is a £1.9 million collaborative ERDF programme, connecting Liverpool City Region businesses with world-class health, care, technology and commercial resources. By coming together, it is uniting regional expertise in helping ambitious businesses develop and market innovative products and services, nationally and globally.
Why was LCR Health Matter set up?
Health is one of the biggest and fastest-growing growing sectors in the world but while the potential exists across Liverpool City Region to tap into these opportunities, so far certain obstacles have been holding our businesses back.
