Some of the UK’s most exciting HealthTech SMEs will be showcased on the Health Innovation Network Zone at World Health Expo (WHX) Dubai 2026, as the cohort of companies is heading to the Middle East’s largest healthcare event.
Bringing together more than 131,000 attendees, 40 international pavilions, and 3,600+ exhibitors from 191 countries, WHX Dubai is one of the most influential global platforms for companies seeking to scale internationally and access fast-growing health markets across the MENA region.
Exhibiting on the ABHI UK Pavilion, the Health Innovation Network will support a diverse group of export-ready innovators whose technologies span cancer diagnosis, digital consent, medicines information, patient safety and sleep health.
The confirmed cohort includes:
- PinPoint Data Science – Leeds-based SME behind a groundbreaking AI-driven blood test for cancer, designed to support clinical decision-making in the NHS ‘two-week wait’ pathway by rapidly identifying both high-risk and low-risk patients.
- Concentric – A leading digital consent and patient information platform used across healthcare organisations.

- Agora Labs – Creators of a secure data-processing platform enabling safe, compliant and collaborative data use across organisations.
- ZeusSleeps – Innovators behind a digitally enabled device designed to reduce snoring.
- Medovate and JEB – A multi-award-winning medical device development company accelerating clinically led innovations that improve safety and patient outcomes.
There are 15 health innovation networks across England, established by NHS England in 2013 to spread innovation at pace and scale – improving health and generating economic growth. They transform lives through innovation by supporting health and social care teams to find, test and implement new solutions at scale to the NHS’ greatest challenges, driving economic growth. They provide boots-on-the-ground support to local health and care teams to deliver health innovation, creating improved health and economic growth in all communities.
Dr Neville Young, Director of Enterprise and Innovation at Health Innovation Yorkshire & Humber, said: “We are proud to help UK innovators take their ideas to a global stage. Through our partnerships with organisations such as the ABHI, we are enabling SMEs to build international connections, reach new markets, and demonstrate how UK-led innovation can address global health challenges.
By supporting them to access international markets, we are helping UK innovation thrive overseas, driving growth, creating partnerships, and showcasing the exceptional talent within our health tech sector. For many, this is the first time they’ve been able to sell their solutions on an international platform.
We are not only supporting their business growth but driving economic growth for the UK by creating new opportunities and jobs, and reinvesting expertise back into our economy.”
