Cancer Research Horizons Innovation Summit 2026

This free summit is for cancer researchers, clinicians and innovators interested in translating research into practical products, services or companies. It brings together founders, investors, industry experts and members of the Cancer Research UK entrepreneurial ecosystem.

The agenda focuses on routes to commercialisation, working with industry, learning from research founders and avoiding common early-stage pitfalls. A marketplace provides direct access to Cancer Research UK, Cancer Research Horizons, partners and regional innovation organisations, so the meeting’s strongest value is networking and translation rather than an abstract presentation route.

The in-person event runs from 09:00 to 18:00 at Manchester’s Science and Industry Museum. Registration is free; no CPD accreditation or trainee-specific submission opportunity was visible on the checked page.

The organiser states that photography and filming will take place for future Cancer Research UK communications, with an opt-out available at registration. International attendees are directed to current UK electronic travel-authorisation guidance.
