Exclusive Access to the UK Life Sciences Market
UK Life Sciences are on the rise! There are some 6,300 UK Life Sciences businesses employing more than quarter of a million people and generating over £80 billion in annual turnover.
GTM Global is hosting a suite of virtual expansion workshops for Life Sciences companies from Sweden, Denmark, Norway, and Finland - to land and expand in the UK.
The UK is the perfect launch pad for ambitious medtech device, pharma, biopharma, CRO and academic companies to validate and grow internationally. Success in the UK is then often a platform
to scale up in the US too!
On registration, a member of the GTM team will speak with you directly and qualify your UK market
entry plans, ensuring we can identify a roadmap for UK expansion. We will then, using that agreed roadmap, directly connect you to a suite of resonant UK experts in the NHS, academia, business development, funding and compliance.
Imagine the value of having these 1-2-1 virtual sessions with resonant UK market entry experts, without the costs of flights, time and accommodation!
Why Should You Attend
Connect with specialist in-country advisers from London, Manchester, Gloucester, Leeds, Edinburgh, Cambridge, and Oxford, and get advice on all aspects of UK market entry and expansion.
