Building Partnerships in the UK Healthcare Tech Sector
Our Technical Director, Ayoub Bensakhria, joined business leaders from AI, healthcare technology, cyber security, and other cutting-edge industries to discuss the opportunities and challenges shaping Liverpool’s business landscape.
During the discussion, Ayoub shared Yoctobe’s journey: “When I moved here three years ago to do my master’s in AI, I developed a real chemistry with Liverpool. I found it promising and decided to move the business here in February 2025. We’re happy here and wish to develop collaborations and partnerships in Liverpool and across the UK.”

- Healthcare software deployment and scaling

- Medical device software solutions for international markets
With over 180 clients across Africa, we’re now expanding our presence in the UK market while navigating the complex regulatory landscape that governs medical software.
Navigating UK Healthcare Regulations
One of the key challenges Ayoub highlighted during the roundtable was regulatory compliance in the UK healthcare sector. “We are exploring all options, including finding a reliable, trustworthy partner in the UK to offer this regulation package, because we know it’s very important,” he explained.
The UK’s medical device regulations require rigorous compliance standards, and Yoctobe is committed to meeting these requirements as we bring our proven solutions to British healthcare providers.
