In this horizon we see an emerging innovation where ideas originate and evolve to become future technologies.
The transitional horizon is where we see healthcare technologies move from early clinical trials phases to pre-regulatory stages.
When approaching the near horizon we see healthcare technologies that have already been launched or are undergoing regulatory and technology appraisal processes.
We provide a gateway to collaboration, intelligence, and growth opportunities in healthcare and life sciences.

Industry engagement is a key strand of NIHR Innovation Observatory's work. Our research, publications, data and insights are crucial for both large corporations and small businesses.
Public involvement in research is a valuable way of making sure that the views of people from different backgrounds and with varied experiences help shape the work we do, even if you’ve had no interest in science research before.
We invest in people and support them in realising their full potential. Through nurturing and encouraging career development, we grow future national and international leaders across quantitative and qualitative methods.
We have a vast network across the sector both nationally and internationally and like to collaborate wherever possible, whether this is with new stakeholders, partner organisations or sharing our knowledge and expertise.

Ensuring that health care innovation of value can realise its full potential is not a task that we undertake alone. We work closely with a range of national stakeholders from the government, regulators, industry, patients, citizens, and the NHS.
The Innovation Observatory is the gateway to the NICE Technology Assessment (TA) Programme for industry, preventing delays in bringing new and repurposed medicines to the UK market through the early identification and tracking of new and repurposed medicines and health technologies.
We build national and international relationships with partners across the Health & Life Sciences Sector. We engage through speaking and attending high profile events and making valuable connections and introductions.
