Helping Wellcome Leap - a world-leading philanthropic organisation - to prioritise investment in 12 new diagnostics aiming to cut stillbirth rates by half

What we did:

  • As part of Wellcome Leap’s $50m "In Utero" program, engaged with funders, grantees, and industry experts to identify the most promising innovations to cut stillbirth rates

  • Evaluated 12 technologies against criteria for success in the US, UK, Uganda, and India

  • Designed a new pathway to scale that addressed health system structural barriers

  • Delivered commercialization training to scientific teams

Impact:

  • In Utero received $100m in additional funding to reduce global stillbirths in line with our recommendations

  • Through this new partnership with the Gates Foundation, the initiative was renamed "Uzima" with a focus on advancing innovations in Sub-Saharan Africa
