Their impact
We take an active role in organisations that support the life sciences industry, both on a local level, such as OBN, One Nucleus and Medilink Midlands, and internationally, and have strong links to life science specialists outside the UK.
We work with spinouts from Midlands-based Universities and startups in the sector to provide the tailored specialist support needed for that early-stage ecosystem to thrive.
