Life science investors who want to be involved in the next big thing in the industry could be interested in attending a conference taking place next month, where some of the leading start-up firms will showcase their ideas.

The Babraham Investor Conference (BIC) is being held on May 15th at the Babraham Research Campus in Cambridge to support early-stages and scale-up life science and med-tech companies.

As well as giving these prospective businesses the chance to seek investment from those in the industry, the conference will include company presentations, guest talks, and networking opportunities.

Chief executive officer of Babraham Research Campus Derek Jones stated: “Not only have investors discovered original opportunities and entrepreneurial ideas to invest in, they have also developed new relationships with other investors and innovators.”

He stated that the objective of the campus is to encourage growth in bio-sciences, particularly for those companies that are in the early stages of launching.

“BIC offers an invaluable platform to allow these innovative companies to grow and develop relationships with like-minded investors,” Patrick Farrant, partner of Taylor Vinters, a sponsor of BIC 2019, stated.

Last month, start-up life science companies were asked to apply for the chance to win a 15-minute slot to pitch at the conference.

Those who were successful will gain a “unique opportunity” to present to these investors, and could receive finance of up to £20 million if their pitch goes well.

Mr Jones said the chance to reveal their ideas to a room full of financiers could be “game-changing for them and their science”.
