The Life Science industry in the UK
The UK Life Science industry is a world leading high tech industry that is vital to Britain’s future economy. It is a strong driver of economic growth and provides highly skilled employment.
The pharmaceutical industry is the biggest sector investor in R&D in the UK accounting for 25% of total investment by business, valued at £3.5bn.
But the central business model of pharmaceutical companies is changing. Companies can no longer go it alone relying on blockbuster drugs and high returns, so they need a new model: more virtual, more partnering orientated and more collaborative with all of the stakeholders.
