Crowdhelix
Crowdhelix is a global collaborative network connecting researchers, innovators, business leaders, and investors. We enable a network of over 800 universities and businesses, hosted across 50+ sector-specific communities, to build impactful consortia that secure international funding and deliver industry-ready solutions.
Working in collaboration with members, Crowdhelix’s expert team is equipped to develop bespoke strategies that help organisations secure global research funding, accelerate engagement with industrial partners, and engage with end users of pioneering technologies.
Members also work with Crowdhelix’s in-house events and communications teams to promote cutting-edge innovations through industry-focused impact events and media engagement.
Crowdhelix has developed the Pancreatic Cancer Helix to help maximise the reach and impact of the LaserBlood project. Managed by Paul McKenna, the Pancreatic Cancer Helix will become an active innovation community that engages relevant stakeholders, including researchers, innovators, business leaders and investors.
The Pancreatic Cancer Helix will also become a focal point for the LaserBlood project’s dissemination activities. By the project’s conclusion, 150 leading organisations are anticipated to have joined the Pancreatic Cancer Helix.
Those organisations, along with other key stakeholders identified during the project’s lifespan, will be invited to two Pancreatic Cancer Helix events organised by Crowdhelix.
