The Scottish Life Sciences Association Plenary sessions will celebrate what we do well in Scotland - Successful business models, the Diagnostics and Medtech sector activity and the increased engagement with the NHS. The challenges of attracting long term finance will also be addressed.

Last year's event attracted companies from throughout Europe and across the world, including Belgium, France, Germany, Portugal, Spain Greece and USA. Over 150 meetings were held on the day, with very positive feedback - three out of every four meetings were deemed to be "very useful" and will hopefully lead to future collaboration.
