All Day
The Crick Institute, London
The event is brought to you by MedCity and the Northern Health Science Alliance (NHSA) to demonstrate the growth and excellence across the UK Life Sciences sector and what more could be achieved by bringing together investors and innovators in this area.
Building on the success of the 2021 event we will examine the challenges, growth opportunities ,excellence, trends, and what else we must do to ensure investment into the ecosystem benefits everyone.
Working best together is about ensuring the ecosystem is connected and we will hear from leaders in the field on panel sessions and in keynote talks how the UK can remain at the forefront of life sciences.
The audience will be made up of investors and a cross-sector of attendees driving Life Science innovation in the UK, including Cluster organisations from across the UK (MedCity, NHSA, Midlands Engine and HIRA-NI) and representatives from across the NHS, funding bodies and some SMEs that have successfully raised funding and are keen to work together to ensure the best innovations reach the patients while adding value to our NHS.
The UK Life Science Sector is world leading, with government spending on health R&D 3rd globally after the USA and Japan. This public investment drives private, with private equity financing in the sector reaching £7bn in 2021.(Source: UK Life science competitiveness indicators 2022). Each UK life sciences job generates GVA of £104,000 – twice the UK average of £49,000 (Sources: PwC analysis, Office for National Statistics). This event will provide an opportunity to look at the UK life science sector at a high level, the roles and opportunities for different parts of the ecosystem (Innovators, NHS, Investors, funders, clinicians, some SME’s) and provide lots of networking opportunities to connect these key drivers of innovation.
