The WMAHSN exists to enhance collaboration and support between organisations involved in healthcare across the West Midlands, in industry, academia, charity and the NHS. As a flagship project from EIT Health, the European Union funding programme running in partnership with the WMAHSN and Aston University, GRaCE-AGE was showcased at the event, including in a video presenting ongoing projects.

EIT Health funding and support is vital to the ongoing success of GRaCE-AGE, and the networking opportunities provided by the WMAHSN to promote the project in the local health tech community are just as important. Earlier in the year, GRaCE-AGE exhibited at Meridian LIVE, an event commemorating the first birthday of the WMAHSN's online Meridian platform.
