Become an Ecosystem Partner.Partner with TEXGHSAbout TEXGHSThe Texas Global Health Security Innovation Consortium (TEXGHS) is a consortium among partners in academia, the public and private sectors to coordinate support for companies working towards pandemic preparedness and response in Texas.Organized by the Austin Technology Incubator at The University of Texas at Austin, TEXGHS is leading the creation and long-term growth of a health security innovation ecosystem that supports innovators and innovations fighting COVID-19 and future pandemics.What is global health security?“Global health security is a state of freedom from the scourge of infectious disease, irrespective of origin or source. It is achieved through the policies, programmes, and activities taken to prevent, detect, respond to, and recover from biological threats… These threats know no borders and have global consequences requiring more effective collective action.”– From the Sydney Statement on Global Health Security, 2019What we do TEXGHS serves as a resource for the Texas innovation community by supporting the development of new technologies and the adaptation of existing technologies that address pandemic infectious disease threats. TEXGHS connects the Texas innovation ecosystem to the world by leading engagement with the broader global health security community and serving as a focal point for outside innovators to support pandemic response and prevention in Texas.We believe that the COVID-19 pandemic has illustrated the immense scope of this challenge, and this consortium is positioned to spearhead these efforts statewide by facilitating collaboration across the academic, private, and public sectors.Examples of coordinated efforts include: cross institutional research collaboration; company participation across incubator and accelerator programs; collaborative grant proposals; co-branding and co-marketing; direct funding for research and development; cooperation across existing networks of global health security experts; representation to local, state, and federal governments; resource mapping across the innovation ecosystem; prototyping, engineering, legal and regulatory support.Ecosystem Partners Event SponsorsOrganizational SponsorsContact usTEXGHS: Texas Global Health Security Innovation Consortium[email protected]For media inquiries, please contact [email protected]. Lisa McDonald, MD, MSTCDirector of Healthcare | Austin Technology IncubatorThe University of Texas at Austin[email protected]Texas Global Health Security Innovation Consortium (TEXGHS)[email protected]Donate to TEXGHSOpens in a new tabOpens in a new tabOpens in a new tabOpens in a new tabSubscribe to our newsletterAboutContactNewsPartnersTeamGHS Innovation Week 2022Copyright 2022 The University of Texas at Austin | Web Privacy Policy | Web Accessibility Policy.wp-container-3 {display: flex;gap: 0.5em;flex-wrap: wrap;align-items: center;}.wp-container-3 > * { margin: 0; }
