[Herndon, VA, Oct. 17, 2024]Sky Solutions, a leading Digital-First enablement partner, has been selected as a member—or “spoke”—in the Investor Catalyst Hub, a regional hub of ARPANET-H, a nationwide health innovation network launched by the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H).
Based in the Greater Boston area and managed by VentureWell, the Investor Catalyst Hub seeks to accelerate the commercialization of groundbreaking and accessible biomedical solutions. It utilizes an innovative hub-and-spoke model designed to reach a wide range of nonprofit organizations and Minority-Serving Institutions, with the aim of delivering scalable healthcare outcomes for all Americans.
“We are excited to join the ARPA-H Investor Catalyst Hub and be part of a network that aligns with our passion to drive innovation and improve healthcare outcomes,” said Anil Boinapalli, CEO and Co-Founder of Sky Solutions.
This opportunity allows us to contribute to groundbreaking solutions that will make healthcare more accessible, and we look forward to collaborating with other forward-thinking organizations to create scalable, lasting impacts in healthcare.
Sky Solutions joins a dynamic nationwide network of organizations aligned to ARPA-H’s overarching mission to improve health outcomes through the following research focus areas: health science futures, proactive health, scalable solutions, and resilient systems. Investor Catalyst Hub spokes represent a broad spectrum of expertise, geographic diversity, and community perspectives.
“Our spoke network embodies a rich and representative range of perspectives and expertise,” said Mark Marino, Vice President of Growth Strategy and Development for VentureWell and Project Director for the Investor Catalyst Hub. Our spokes comprise a diverse network that will be instrumental in ensuring that equitable health solutions reach communities across every state and tribal nation.
As an Investor Catalyst Hub spoke, Sky Solutions gains access to potential funding and flexible contracting for faster award execution compared to traditional government contracts. Spoke membership also offers opportunities to provide input on ARPA-H challenge areas and priorities, along with access to valuable networking opportunities and a robust resource library.
