The next Future Health Research and Innovation (FHRI) Fund Open Day will be held on 18 July 2024 with a theme of ‘a connected innovation ecosystem’.

Hosted by the WA Department of Health’s Office of Medical Research and Innovation (OMRI) in collaboration with the WA Life Sciences Innovation Hub (WALSIH), attendees will have the opportunity to hear about local developments related to health and medical innovation, learn about new FHRI Fund programs open for applications, and hear successful FHRI Fund recipients showcase their innovation projects through a captivating Early-stage Biomedical and Health Showcase.

Speakers will include prominent identities in the WA health and medical innovation space, including new FHRI Fund Advisory Council Member, Professor Fiona Wood AO, and recently awarded FHRI Fund grant recipients will also be announced.

An ‘innovation marketplace’ will be held after the formalities, allowing attendees to meet medical technology start-up representatives and gain insight into health and medical innovations in development.
