Nexus Joins Hands With Healthcare Software Company

The University of Leeds’ Nexus innovation hub has welcomed the addition of a healthcare software company.

The software company, Dedalus, at present serves 6,300 healthcare organisations across the world. In total, they provide services to more than 540 million people. They will utilise Nexus as a focal point to drive this partnership and innovation with its customers in the UK and Ireland.

The company already has a presence in Leeds, and it is well established with their offices operating in Sovereign Street. Its expansion to Nexus will create a collaboration space that is flexible. It will be available to healthcare organisations, partners and employees.

Dedalus market development director for UK and Ireland, Sally Stanley, stated that Leeds was the perfect location for their innovation centre. “Leeds is an established base for digital healthcare.”

“Our base at Nexus will not just be increased office space, but much more than that. It will be an innovation hub for colleagues and customers from across the UK, Ireland and Europe. We wanted to be a part of the bigger picture in the city, linking to the innovative Nexus business community and its wider networks and working in close proximity with the experts at the University of Leeds who are at the forefront of transformative change in healthcare.”

Nexus director, Dr Martin Stow, is delighted to welcome Dedalus. He is hopeful that this new partnership will solidify their market value. “We are very happy to welcome a world leader in healthcare software to the Nexus community. This will further bolster our reputation as a centre of excellence for innovation in medical technology, digital health and life sciences.”

“The quality of access and support that we give to extensive collaborative research and consultancy opportunities, both within the university and to our wider innovation network, means we are on the path to become a home to a growing number of innovative companies in the healthcare sector.”

Dedalus is also actively working with the team at Nexus to stage conferences, conduct seminars and networking events to cater for the healthcare and life sciences sector and its international customer base.
