OBN C-Suite Breakfast Discussion: āFunding the Futureā, The Oxford Science Park
Join us for a practical round table discussion addressing the ever-present, ever challenging topic of funding for life sciences R&D companies.
Speakers and guests will have the opportunity to review the current climate, look at what's available, from who and who for. Speakers will also share insight into current and predicted future market trends and challenges, and consider how we compare to other international markets.
Finally, we will discuss if our funding landscape is holding back innovation and what will it take to help support the UK in becoming the science and technology superpower of the future.
