Time: 2 - 4pm

Location: Barclays Eagle Labs (Network Eagle Lab), Portland Terrace, Southampton SO14 7SJ

Join leaders from across the Wessex Life Sciences ecosystem for an afternoon of insight, collaboration, and forward momentum. One year on from the UK Government’s Life Sciences Sector Plan, this session brings together industry, academia, health partners, and innovation enablers to reflect on regional progress and shape the next phase of delivery.

Hosted by Hampshire Prosperity Partnership, Health Innovation Wessex and Wessex Health Partners Academic Health Science Partnership, this meeting is part of the Wessex Life Sciences Innovation Cluster development programme - designed to strengthen connections, accelerate innovation and amplify the region’s role in the national life sciences landscape.

As part of the development of the Wessex Life Sciences Innovation Cluster, participants will work together to co-design a regional manifesto that sets out a shared vision, ambitions and practical actions to support sector growth, attract investment and strengthen collaboration across the South.

This is a valuable opportunity to contribute to a significant regional initiative that aims to accelerate innovation, strengthen partnerships and enhance the South's position within the UK life sciences landscape.
