This event will be chaired by Chris Shelley, Partner at Penningtons Manches Cooper, and will feature opening gambits from:

• Angela Hobbs, Chair of OBN's HR Special Interest Group (HRSIG) & CEO of Wilkinson Hall - who enable sustainable and impactful innovation for entrepreneurs and established companies, specialising in FemTech and women's health.
• Shawn Manning, Chair of OBN's Investment & Tax Special Interest Group (ITSIG) and Managing Director of Akesios Associates - who provide financial strategy, representation and commercial development advice to Life Science companies

Chris will invite feedback from Angela and Shawn on the following points:

• What do we mean by the term 'investment' – not just financial?
• Is there enough of the 'right kind' of investment available in the UK – if not, why not and what's the solution?
• Is the structure of the UK life sciences industry best serving entrepreneurs?
• Failure and agility - and the importance of both for growing companies

After which, we'll open up the floor for a round table discussion with attending guests.

About OBN's C-Suite Events:

The purpose of these events is to generate some interesting, useful, high-level and boundary pushing discussion and debate, that creates some practical thought-leadership output.
