The RAP is a contestable acceleration programme for very early-stage medical device and digital health technology projects working towards clinical application and commercialisation. 

​

This programme will identify, de-risk and curate opportunities for innovative health technologies, with an emphasis towards those addressing accessibility and inequity issues. The objective is to create a high-value deep tech pipeline for the investment community. 

​

This initiative is funded by MBIE for $2.7 million per year for 3 years and hosted by the University of Auckland on behalf of the CMDT partners.
