About The London Biotechnology Network
Responding to the need for a co-ordinated approach to biotech development in London, UK London Biotechnology Network was formed by business organisation London First in June 2000. It has since grown into the largest regional biotechnology organisation in the UK with about 800 member organisations.
London, the financial capital of Europe provides access to funding, a major attraction for biotechnology companies. London’s biotech sector is centred around an enormous amount of research activity among the UK capital’s high concentration of medical schools, teaching hospitals and medical research organisations.
A major part of London Biotechnology’s work is focused on developing new incubator and laboratory facilities for biotech organisations. The London Bioscience Innovation Centre houses a number of companies, while a number of other projects are in progress to develop new space both in Central and West London.
