As the UK positions itself to secure renewed economic growth, we urgently need to invest in deep technology to support these ambitions and address some the biggest challenges of our time. VC investment is essential to that growth.
While VC investment has grown significantly in the last decade, it has largely missed out the deep tech and science sectors that the UK has a significant global competitive advantage in.
This event is designed to celebrate the launch of The Science and Technology Venture Capital Fellowship, a government backed initiative designed to upskill investors’ knowledge and experience of the Life Sciences and Deep Tech sectors and unlock capital in this critical space.
