In 2000 the London Biotechnology Network was launched by London First as the first coordinated approach to life sciences in London. London First is a business campaign group supported by over 300 of the capital’s major businesses, as well as higher education institutions, further education colleges and NHS Trusts. London First’s aim is to engage the business community in promoting and improving London using the vision, energy and skills of business leaders to shape and secure the capital’s future as the world city.
The London Biotechnology network is now co-sponsored by the London Development Agency (LDA). The London Biotechnology Network has 2300 members from 1000 organisations. The core focus of the London Biotechnology Network is to create effective business forums and communication networks that bring the London biotechnology sector together in order to:
- debate key issues affecting the future development of London’s biotechnology sector
- provide opportunities to bring London’s members together with other biotechnology clusters, both in the UK and overseas
- showcase London companies seeking investment to the venture capital community
- provide a key information portal for London’s biotechnology sector through listings of companies, institutions, investors and professional service members of the Network on the website (www.londonbiotechnology.co.uk) and within other reports
- disseminate information from partner organisations such as LDA, Department of Trade & Industry, UK Trade & Investment and the Biotechnology Industries Association that may be of benefit to our member companies
- respond to enquiries from inward investors seeking new business opportunities in London
- capitalise on the critical mass of the Network to negotiate special rate deals with suppliers such as business intelligence providers, conference organisers and journal publishers
- share knowledge among members based on their collective experience
