Scottish med-tech firm, MIME Technologies, has secured a six-figure sum after being accepted as one of 10 firms globally to participate in the ATI Boeing Accelerator, a programme that aims to help shape the future of sustainable aerospace. The firm develops solutions for environments where there is no immediate access to professional medical care, and is targeting business and commercial aviation as one of several key markets.

The company has received funding from Boeing HorizonX Global Ventures and also from Scottish Enterprise, Scotland’s national economic development agency, as part of the Boeing Scotland Alliance. The funding boost will be used for product development, creation of jobs in the firm and to accelerate customer growth in both the UK aerospace and global markets.
MIME Technologies’ onboard kit helps to improve crew confidence to respond during an emergency and transfers critical vital signs data to doctors on the ground. This enables quicker decisions, reduces risk and helps to improve outcomes. Airlines also receive higher quality incident reports for audit, insurance, and crew training.
“Turning a plane around is complex and expensive, costing anything from £20K to over £250K per flight,” Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer Anne Roberts says. “Medical emergencies can be stressful for the crew, often little casualty data is gathered to support an informed inflight decision.”
Linda Hanna, CEO of Scottish Enterprise and co-chair of the Boeing Scotland Alliance, said, "Our initial investment and support has helped MIME to continue to innovate during the pandemic and we believe it’s well placed to capitalise on air travel opportunities as we adjust to a post-Covid way of life.”
As confidence to fly will play a key role in aviation recovery plans from the Covid-19 pandemic, Roberts says, “It has never been more important for the aviation industry to provide clear guidance and reassurance that every effort is being made to prioritise the health of passengers and employees. As we roll out the product across the globe, commercial airlines and private jets can use our technology to do just that.”
The ATI Boeing Accelerator programme was created in partnership with the Aerospace Technology Institute and Boeing. GKN Aerospace is the corporate sponsor and Rolls-Royce recently joined as a partner.
