Daw £24m o gyllid ar y cyd gan Gronfa Datblygu Rhanbarthol Ewrop a Llywodraeth Cymru i gefnogi Accelerate: Sbardun Arloesi a Thechnoleg Iechyd Cymru dros dair blynedd. Bydd Accelerate yn dod ag arbenigedd clinigol, academaidd a busnes ynghyd i ddatblygu a defnyddio cynnyrch a gwasanaethau arloesol newydd o fewn y system iechyd a gofal yng Nghymru. 

Bydd £9m arall o gyllid Llywodraeth Cymru yn cael ei ddefnyddio i greu canolfannau arloesi iechyd ar draws Cymru. Prif nod y canolfannau fydd datblygu technoleg iechyd o'r radd flaenaf er mwyn helpu i wella'r ffordd rydym yn atal, trin a rheoli cyflyrau cronig hirdymor, a manteisio ar dechnolegau newydd sy'n dod i'r golwg. 

Cyhoeddwyd y cyllid heddiw (dydd Mercher, 13 Mehefin) gan yr Ysgrifennydd Iechyd, Vaughan Gething ac Ysgrifennydd yr Economi, Ken Skates.

Mae ACCELERATE yn cael ei arwain gan Hwb Gwyddorau Bywyd Cymru mewn partneriaeth gyda Phrifysgol Caerdydd, Prifysgol Abertawe a Phrifysgol y Drindod Dewi Sant. Bydd yn gweithio gyda phartneriaid yn y diwydiant i gyflymu'r gwaith o drosi syniadau yn gynnyrch a gwasanaethau newydd, a sbarduno'r broses o ddosbarthu a mabwysiadu cynnyrch a gwasanaethau technoleg i'r sector iechyd a gofal, gan greu gwerth economaidd parhaus yng Nghymru. 

Bydd modd i sefydliadau wneud cais am arian o'r gronfa gwerth £9m i ddatblygu canolfannau arloesi iechyd, tebyg i'r Ganolfan Arloesi ym maes Gwella Clwyfau a'r Ganolfan Arloesi ar gyfer Clefydau Anadlol. Bydd y canolfannau yn dwyn ynghyd arbenigwyr iechyd a busnes i ddatblygu, profi a gweithredu syniadau newydd i atal a gwella cyflyrau cronig, yn ogystal â thechnolegau newydd sy'n dod i'r golwg. Mae'r cyllid yn cael ei roi ar sail benthyciad i'w ad\-dalu, a disgwylir i'r canolfannau ddod i ariannu eu hunain drwy greu elw a denu cyllid o ffynonellau eraill.

Dywedodd yr Ysgrifennydd Iechyd, Vaughan Gething: 


> "Mae datblygu ffyrdd newydd, arloesol o atal, trin a gwella salwch a chlefydau yn rhan hanfodol o weledigaeth Llywodraeth Cymru ar gyfer dyfodol y Gwasanaeth Iechyd Gwladol. Bydd y rhaglen Accelerate a'r canolfannau arloesi newydd yn helpu i ddatblygu syniadau newydd ar gyfer cynnyrch a gwasanaethau i'w defnyddio'n gynt yn ein Gwasanaeth Iechyd ac ar draws y byd."

Dywedodd Ysgrifennydd yr Economi, Ken Skates: 


> "Mae'n sector gwyddorau bywyd yn ffynnu a werth tua £2bn i economi Cymru. Bydd y buddsoddiad hwn yn helpu i adeiladu ar yr arbenigedd a'r dalent sydd gennym eisoes yn y sector. Yn y tymor hir, rwy'n disgwyl gweld y buddsoddiad hwn yn arwain at gannoedd o swyddi medrus iawn a chefnogi twf economaidd."

Dywedodd Cari\-Anne Quinn, Prif Swyddog Gweithredol Hwb Gwyddorau Bywyd Cymru: 


> "Mae'n gyffrous iawn cael arwain y rhaglen ACCELERATE er mwyn helpu i fasnacheiddio a datblygu cynnyrch ar draws y gwyddorau bywyd, iechyd a gofal. Mae'r rhaglen flaengar hon yn cynnig cyfle i ddarparu manteision economaidd a manteision i gleifion ar raddfa fwy nag a welwyd erioed yng Nghymru. Gyda'r lansiad swyddogol ar 2 Gorffennaf, mae Hwb Gwyddorau Bywyd Cymru yn edrych ymlaen at gael cydweithio'n agos gyda'n partneriaid i helpu i sicrhau mai Cymru yw'r lle i fod o ran arloesi yn y byd iechyd, gofal a llesiant."

£24m of funding comes jointly from the European Regional Development Fund and Welsh Government which over three years, will support Accelerate: the Welsh Health Innovation and Technology Accelerator. Accelerate will bring together clinical, academic and business expertise to develop and deploy new, innovative products and services within the Welsh health and care system. 


A further £9m of Welsh Government funding will be used to create additional health innovation centres across Wales. The core aim of the centres will be to develop cutting edge health technology to improve the prevention, treatment and management of long term chronic conditions and take advantage of new and emerging technologies. 


The money was jointly announced today (Wednesday, 13 June) by the Health Secretary, Vaughan Gething and Economy Secretary, Ken Skates.


ACCELERATE is led by the Life Sciences Hub Wales in partnership with Cardiff University, Swansea University and the University of Wales Trinity Saint David. It will work with industry partners to speed up the translation of ideas into new technology products and services, and to accelerate the deployment and adoption of new technology products and services into health and care, creating lasting economic value in Wales. 


Organisations will be able to bid for money from the £9m fund to develop health innovation centres, similar to the Welsh Wound Innovation Centre and Respiratory Innovation Centre. The centres will bring together experts in health and business to develop, test and implement new ideas for the prevention and cure of chronic conditions as well as new and emerging technologies. The funding is on a loan repayment basis and it is expected that the centres will become self\-financing by generating profits and drawing in funding from other sources.


Health Secretary, Vaughan Gething said: 



> “Developing innovative new ways to prevent, treat and cure illness and disease is a vital part of the Welsh Government’s vision for the future of the NHS in Wales. The Accelerate programme and new health innovation centres fund will help develop new ideas for health products and services more quickly for use in our NHS and across the world.”


Economy Secretary, Ken Skates said: 



> “Our life sciences sector is thriving and worth around £2bn to the Welsh economy. This investment will help build on the expertise and talent we have already built up in his sector. In the long\-term I expect to see this investment result in hundreds of highly skilled jobs and support economic growth.”


Cari\-Anne Quinn, Chief Executive Officer at the Life Sciences Hub Wales said: 



> “We are thrilled to lead the ACCELERATE Programme to support commercialisation and product innovation across the life sciences, health and care. The ground\-breaking Programme offers an opportunity to deliver economic and patient benefit on an unprecedented scale in Wales. Formally launching on 2nd July, the Life Sciences Hub Wales looks forward to collaborating closely with our partners to support Wales in becoming the place of choice for innovation in health, care and wellbeing.”
