LifeSciencesUK is a new initiative which brings together the UK’s four leading human healthcare industries to ensure the UK is the destination of choice for international life sciences investment. The LifeSciencesUK initiative will facilitate joint working between the UK’s major human healthcare industries: biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, medical devices and diagnostics.
The founder members of LifeSciencesUK are the Association of British Healthcare Industries (ABHI), the Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry (ABPI), the BioIndustry Association (BIA) and the British In Vitro Diagnostics Association (BIVDA), all of whom will continue to represent their individual sector interests.
LifeSciencesUK will help to strengthen and grow the UK’s vibrant life sciences sector. Key objectives include a drive to continuously improve the investment environment for UK companies, to improve access to new medicines, devices, technologies and diagnostics, and demonstrate the importance of UK life sciences to the UK economy.
