This conference takes place on Tuesday 3rd September 2024 and focuses on the way forward for decarbonisation and moving towards net zero in the UK life sciences sector.
It will also be an opportunity for stakeholders and policymakers to discuss priorities for the new Government, including supporting growth in the sector alongside efforts and requirements to meet net zero targets, with the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care pledging to make Britain a powerhouse for medical technology and life sciences.
