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.”

What Yoctobe Does

Yoctobe specializes in software as a medical device (SaMD) and data integration, providing comprehensive support for:

  • Healthcare software deployment and scaling
  • Regulatory compliance through our Quality Management System (QMS)
  • 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.

Why Liverpool for Healthcare Innovation

Liverpool offers unique advantages for healthcare technology companies:

  • Strong Research Infrastructure: Home to world-class universities conducting cutting-edge medical research
  • Healthcare Ecosystem: Close proximity to NHS institutions and clinical innovation networks
  • Talent Pool: Access to skilled professionals in AI, software development, and healthcare
  • Collaborative Culture: A business community that values innovation and partnership

The roundtable emphasized Liverpool’s potential as a biotech and health tech hub, with participants noting the city’s strengths in vaccine manufacturing, R&D, and emerging areas like personalized therapeutics.

Making Global Impact from Liverpool

While our roots span from Algeria to Germany, and our client base extends across Africa, Liverpool now serves as Yoctobe’s UK headquarters. This strategic location allows us to:

  • Serve our existing 180+ African clients with enhanced European support
  • Expand into the UK and European healthcare markets
  • Build partnerships with local innovators and healthcare providers
  • Access regulatory expertise and compliance resources

The Future of Healthcare Technology

The roundtable discussion highlighted several trends that align with Yoctobe’s mission:

  • AI in Healthcare: Growing adoption of artificial intelligence to improve patient outcomes
  • Data Integration: Critical need for systems that connect disparate healthcare data sources
  • Regulatory Technology: Increasing demand for compliance solutions in medical software
  • Global Health Equity: Expanding access to quality healthcare technology across markets

As one participant noted, the challenge is ensuring that innovation creates value locally rather than simply extracting it. Yoctobe is committed to this principle—bringing proven solutions to new markets while contributing to the communities where we operate.
