A partnership between the UK and European space agencies could see 40 new high-tech hospitals built by 2030
Space agencies from both the UK and Europe have challenged British tech companies to develop new services that could support high-tech hospitals of the future.
The UK Space Agency and the European Space Agency (ESA) have made £5 million of funding available through the Hampshire Together programme, a digital transformation project across the North and mid-Hampshire areas.
The funding is part of the UK government s Health Infrastructure plan, which includes provisions to build 40 new hospitals across England by 2030.
Tech firms have been asked to submit proposals for technologies and services that are inspired by space missions to a panel made up of experts from the UK Space Agency, ESA, and Hampshire Together. The panel wants to see not only ideas for the design and development of services to support new hospitals, but also the communities that surround them.
