Israeli medtech startups showcase AI innovations during UK visit
Minister for the Middle East Hamish Falconer welcomes opportunities for UK-Israel collaborations in healthcare
Nine stand-out Israeli companies were in London this week as part of a pioneering medical tech delegation, organised by by the UK-Israel Tech-Hub based in British Embassy Tel Aviv.
The pioneering startups specialising in AI-driven healthcare solutions, from rare disease and early pregnancy diagnostics to mental health support, participated in the Dangoor HealthTech Academy – a first-of-its-kind programme connecting Israeli startups with the UK healthcare system.
The three-day visit marked the end of the eight-week programme for this first cohort of selected companies. The startups met with NHS and private healthcare organisations, innovation hubs, and accelerators. The initiative underlined the Government’s ambition to deliver an NHS fit for the future and brings cutting-edge medical solutions to improve patient care in Britain and drive economic growth, delivering on the UK government’s Plan for Change.
Throughout the eight-week Academy, the startups were provided deep insights into UK healthcare regulations, R&D, and pilot programmes with mentorship from experts in Israel and the UK.
Minister for the Media East, Hamish Falconer said: “The UK-Israel partnership in healthcare is delivering benefits for both nations. Through cooperating with the UK-Israel Tech Hub, we are creating opportunities for joint innovation that will transform patient care in the UK.
“This cooperation will help drive our Plan for Change – ensuring patients will benefit from the best global innovations.”
The UK and Israel work closely in a variety of areas, including on trade and technology. The UK-Israel Tech Hub at the British Embassy in Israel, established in 2011, is the first of its kind and has an estimated £1.2 -billion economic impact for the UK. The Dangoor HealthTech Academy was established by the Hub with support from the Dangoor Foundation.

In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.

Voice of our community to wider society
