🌟 The life sciences sector in the North of England is in good health, but is the best yet to come?  With a robust base of R&D companies, manufacturers targeting global markets, and a network of science parks and research-led universities, the region is poised for significant growth. The recent panel discussion at Sci-Tech Daresbury’s Innovation Centre, featuring industry leaders and investors, plus STFC representatives Phil Carvil (Head of NW Clusters) and Massimo Noro (Director Daresbury Business Development), highlighted the North's potential to drive the UK towards becoming a scientific superpower. 🔬🚀  The focus is clear: health is paramount, and the life sciences sector is a key driver of 21st-century growth. The North is ready to lead in pharma, biotechnology, and MedTech, supporting the Office for Life Science’s 10-year strategy to position the UK at the forefront of global innovation. Exciting times ahead for the North and the UK's innovation economy! 🌐💡 Read more about this exciting development here 👉 https://lnkd.in/dgNuKSxD Andrew Thelwell | Claire E.

A fantastic incubation period for Lúnasa Space on the ESA Business Incubation Centre United Kingdom programme, which is managed by STFC. Lúnasa Space will launch its first testbed by 2025 under the UK Space Agency funding, which will validate its novel vision-based navigation solution for autonomous RPO in orbit, and host other technologies. This success will establish Lúnasa’s flight heritage, catalyse further investments, and unlock further commercial contracts. 👏 Read the full case study here ➡ https://lnkd.in/et-ci4Sr #ESABICUK
