THE STRENGTH OF SCOTLAND’S LIFE SCIENCE SECTOR

Session: 10 March 2021, 12:00 – 13:00

Scotland’s Life Sciences market is in the spotlight. Investors have pumped £600m into the sector over the past three years and the race to develop a coronavirus vaccine has driven the market still further.

An expert panel, including Anna Stamp, Interim Programme Director, Edinburgh BioQuarter, will discuss the qualities that have made Scotland attractive for the life sciences sector, the opportunities available to expand the sector and how innovation district plans will support that growth. What must Scotland deliver to ensure the sector’s continued success in attracting and retaining top talent and providing the specialised space required?

JOIN THIS SESSION to hear about Scotland’s success and the still untapped potential for this market.
