We are proud to be a purpose-led joint venture

Our aim is to save and improve more lives across the world by fostering leadership excellence in the UK Life Science sector.

Our purpose aligns with the 10-year strategy of the ABPI (The Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry) to “make the UK the best place in the world to research, develop and use the medicines and vaccines of the future”.

Our purpose equally aligns with what the BIA (UK BioIndustry Association) believes is important: “enabling and connecting the UK ecosystem so that businesses can start, grow and deliver world-changing innovation”.
