BIVDA hosted our first Springboard Programme 2024 event last week in Chiswick, attracting a range of members and industry experts. The aim of the programme is to help these smaller companies or those new to the market, grow and develop by collaboration and connection with leading industry experts. The programme is delivered in partnership with Barclays Eagles Labs.
Partners included attendees from the Department of Business and Trade, MHRA, CPI, Barclays Eagle Labs and UKHSA.
Special thanks are reserved for BIVDA’s Innovation Programme Lead Lucy Lehane who leads the programme. If members are interested in further details, please don’t hesitate to contact Lucy (lucy.lehane@bivda.org.uk).
A full write-up of the event will be available in next week’s newsletter.
