Clinical trials are the backbone of medical innovation, turning promising research into real-world treatments. Yet for many patients, healthcare professionals, and even trial sponsors, navigating the global landscape of trials remains fragmented and time-consuming. Enter Clinical Net, a London-based healthtech startup transforming how the world connects with clinical trials. Join us below as we spoke with Nuria Coll Bastus, Founder and CEO of Clinical Net, following its recent recognition in the Greater London Enterprise Awards 2025. Most Revolutionary Clinical Trial Platform 2025 80% of clinical trials are delayed because they do not recruit enough participants on time, while 65% of patients report that they would consider taking part in a clinical trial if it could expand their healthcare options. There is a disconnect currently stagnating the medical industry, leading to higher costs, missed opportunities, and slower innovation for pharmaceutical companies. Clinical Net is here to bridge this gap, making it easier for people to find trials that match their exact eligibility while helping sponsors recruit faster and more cost-effectively, thereby accelerating the development of new drugs. Clinical Net is the only global platform that matches and connects people with clinical trials in five minutes. Entirely patient-centric, it matches down to the last eligibility criteria and offers both lay and medical language to ensure accessibility and usability for all – patients, families, carers, and healthcare professionals alike. The company’s mission is simple: to make it easy, fast, and free for anyone, anywhere to access new and potentially life-changing healthcare options. Clinical Net strives to opens doors to the most innovative and promising treatments while accelerating clinical trials and bringing new treatments to market faster. “Clinical Net is more than just a search tool – it’s a movement to revolutionise how the world thinks about healthcare, access, and research,” Nuria told us. “We believe that everyone should have the chance to benefit from the very latest medical advances, no matter who they are, where they live, or what they know about clinical trials. That is why we have built a platform that is not only free and fast, but radically inclusive – designed for everyday people as well as professionals.” One of the biggest challenges the team at Clinical Net have faced has been raising awareness and tackling widespread misconceptions about clinical trials. Many people still believe that clinical trials are only for endof-life care, are risky, or involve costs – when in fact, participating in research is safe, free, and often provides access to more, newer healthcare options. On average, Clinical Net offers each patient more than ten additional treatment possibilities through trial matching, yet too many people remain unaware or uncertain about clinical trials as a care pathway. Rather than seeing this as a barrier, Clinical Net has turned it into an opportunity to inform, engage, and partner. The company began actively collaborating with charities, patient organisations, NHS innovation hubs, the NIHR, and other trusted public health bodies to promote a shared mission: to empower people to take control of their health and consider participation in clinical research. This challenge pushed the company to move beyond being just a digital platform, encouraging it to serve as a connector, educator, and advocate – helping to strengthen the UK’s position as a centre of excellence for research while building trust and opening up more options for patients. Looking ahead, Clinical Net is launching a major campaign to help the public understand how important clinical trials are – not just for their own health today, but for patients of the future as well. Still too many people view clinical trials as a last resort, and the company strives to show how trials can indeed be a safe, free, and powerful way to access new treatments earlier. Furthering its growth, Clinical Net is expanding internationally, starting with the U.S., where it is building partnerships to launch the platform. It also plans to translate Clinical Net into more languages, making it easier for everyone, no matter where they live or what language they speak, to access clinical trials. “Our goal is to make Clinical Net the go-to place for finding clinical trials – whether you are a patient, a carer, or a doctor,” Nuria concluded. “2025 is a hugely exciting year for Clinical Net. After years of building and refining our technology, we are now focused on growing the brand – increasing our visibility, building trust and recognition so that more people can benefit from what we offer. The future is full of possibility, and we are just getting started. “We’re excited for what’s ahead and are always open to collaboration with others who share our mission of improving access, advancing research, transforming outcomes and offering hope for patients everywhere.” Contact: Nuria Coll Bastus Company: Clinical Net Web Address: www.clinicalnet.com
