Life Sciences Conference 2010
End : 23 Mar 2010 - 17:00
The UK’s life sciences sector potentially holds the key to growth, prosperity and high achievement in the knowledge-based industries. Last month, the Prime Minister announced that £200m from the UK Innovation Investment Fund (UKIIF) will be used to benefit life sciences, digital and advanced manufacturing businesses. How research continues to be funded and commercialised is at the heart of government policy and where Scotland is considered to be at the forefront of investment in health, life sciences and science-related programmes.
