Discovery Park welcomes 11 oncology start-ups for an immersive business growth programme

Eleven early-stage companies working in oncology have started ‘Discovery Spark’, a free development programme hosted by leading science and innovation campus Discovery Park, in Sandwich, Kent. 

Designed to offer start-ups the skills and tools to lay healthy foundations in their business, refine their commercial strategy and achieve investor readiness, all 11 businesses will be put through their paces to enable future success and growth.

Supported by Capital Enterprise Network, Cancer Tech Accelerator, NHS Kent and Medway Cancer Alliance and the University of Kent, Discovery Park’s latest Discovery Spark programme has an oncology theme.

As well as developing valuable skills, one Discovery Spark candidate will secure a spot in the prestigious CRUK-funded Cancer Tech Accelerator Bootcamp and be awarded the opportunity of free lab space at Discovery Park with access to a business support and mentoring package worth over £50,000.
