MedCity Investment Hub – advanced therapies company showcase special

19 Nov 2020
3:00 pm - 6:30 pm

Virtual

Dedicated invite only event for investors interested in advanced therapies or early stage companies in advanced therapies looking to fundraise

The MedCity Investment Hub provides access to finance support with a strong education component in the investment space. We aim to convene the life sciences investment community to identify, discuss and finds ways to address challenges in the sector and in specific areas where they might be a gap. One way we do this is by connecting investors to companies working in healthcare and life sciences, showcasing innovative start-ups and hosting workshops on relevant topics for both entrepreneurs and investors.

Following a keynote speech by our former chair, Eliot Foster, at the last Advanced Therapies Network event on the challenges of investing in cell and gene therapies, we have been discussing how to leverage both our advanced therapies and investors networks to encourage more investment in cell and gene therapies.

Our next company showcase will start by discussing challenges and limitations in investment in cell & gene therapies in the UK. The event will take place virtually on 19 November 3-6.30pm (including breakout room time). The aim of this event is to showcase the success stories of companies with current treatments already or about to go into the clinic, the trends and early stage spinouts looking for funding in this space. This will be an opportunity for an audience interested in partnering and/or investing in this space to learn more about it, understand the challenges and impact and access investment opportunities in the space.
