Empowering health enterprises for impact

Health Innovation, Entrepreneurship and Partnerships (HIPE)

The HIPE Team work with innovators and entrepreneurs to improve their businesses, enabling them to more effectively support country health goals. With stronger healthcare businesses, public private collaborations and partnerships become a reality. The Centre provides the right tools and environment to facilitate public private dialogue collaboration and the exchange of ideas and best practices. By funding academic research, fellowships, student groups, seminars, and events, we create unique opportunities to advance theory and practice.

Key focus areas:

  • Strengthening healthcare enterprise financing and investment

  • Supporting Health Enterprise Support Organizations (ESOs) across Africa

  • Advancing youth employment through health innovation

  • Fostering private-sector health entrepreneurship and business growth
