Innovative Leicestershire, A Life Sciences Success Story

This event, delivered by Medilink Midlands and Charnwood Campus, will showcase Leicestershire’s unwavering entrepreneurial spirit that has led to the creation of 3,700 jobs across the life sciences sector since 2010 and continues to generate £900M of GVA per annum.

Its aim is to showcase and celebrate the considerable contribution that the Leicestershire life sciences community makes to the UK’s wider success in the fields of medical and clinical research, innovation, health data, AI and digital health.

The life sciences sector strengthens every year through the continuous formation of strong and successful partnerships. Leicestershire is certainly ‘one to watch’ as a key location within the UK for experts in economics, science and innovation, as well as spring boarding entrepreneurs.

Attend this event to celebrate success stories from across the region, hear updates on new projects, and to network with like-minded businesses.
