Launched in July 2014, Life Sciences Hub Wales is the focal point for the Life Sciences sector throughout Wales – stimulating collaboration, innovation and investment.
With a target of increasing the sector’s contribution to the Welsh economy by more than £1 billion by 2022, the rewards for success in Life Sciences are huge - delivering dual benefits in terms of both health and wealth.
Bringing together business, universities, government, funding partners, professional services, clinicians and healthcare organisations, the Hub supports sector growth by providing an unparalleled level of co-ordinated support, advice and finance.
Life Sciences Hub Wales will be pivotal in creating a thriving Life Sciences eco-system, encouraging innovation and cutting edge research, providing access to finance and expertise, and showcasing the diverse range of sector expertise and capability in Wales on the world stage.
The Hub itself is a unique space in Cardiff Bay, with an office and venue theme of ‘science and nature’ and designed to the highest standards, it meets the needs of Life Sciences businesses. Facilities include a lecture theatre, board room, media pod, meeting rooms, break-out areas, AV facilities, video conferencing, networked printing, and free WiFi access.
By becoming a member of the Hub, companies of all sizes have a single access point to dedicated facilities, networking, business advice, events, promotion and funding opportunities.
