Oxford Life Science Ecosystem: a self-reflection
The Oxford life sciences ecosystem sits within the UK’s so-called ‘Golden Triangle’ cluster of science, technology, and innovation however the entrepreneurial and investment scene vary greatly to Cambridge and London.
Known for a heavy emphasis on university-centric science and investment, the ecosystem has a perception problem meaning it misses out on both talent and opportunity.
We plan to change that!
To celebrate the launch of the Science Entrepreneur Club’s Oxford Chapter, in collaboration with Mills & Reeve, we are bringing together life sciences investors and entrepreneurs from across Oxford and beyond. Hear from a stellar line-up of panelists bringing their perspectives and experiences of the ecosystem’s challenges:
Lily Elsner, CEO JackFertility
Nicki Campling, Deputy CEO The Oxford Trust
Daniel Rooke, ex StartCodon, COO OtoImmune
Dr Rajarshi "Banjo" Banerjee, CEO Perspectum
Dr Mark Payton, CEO Mercia Asset Management
If you want to contribute and play a part in boosting the Oxford life sciences ecosystem, join us at Oxford North on Thursday 4th December for an afternoon of discussion, debate and networking.
