  9. FOI2025/00500: Biomedical Catalyst 2024 Success Thresholds

    Request Received: 19 May 2025

    I am writing to request some information relating to the Innovate UK Biomedical Catalyst 2024 competition (launched 2 Sept 2024). There are two pieces of information I am requesting:

    1.    I wish to know what the minimum score of a successful project was at the point of decision to grant (January 2025).  Please break this down by portfolio theme (e.g. 'Medical technology and devices').

     On Wednesday 14 May I was informed that some applications to this competition were mistakenly invited to interview, and were subsequently rejected for funding.  Since this mistake came to light, these applications have now been approved for funding.

    2.    I wish to know what impact this has had on the minimum score of a successful project.  Please break these new scores down by portfolio theme.

    A simple list of scores pre- and post- the correction of mistake, provided over email, to me (at this email address) would be much appreciated.
