This event provides a unique opportunity to hear an impressive list of speakers on a range of topics, from innovation and training to business strategy and funding, take part in open-floor discussions and listen to case studies from selected companies.

The event will be held in Exeter on 24 April and has been organised by BioApproaches South West in conjunction with Innovation Relay Centre South West, NHS Innovations South West, the South West of England Regional Development Agency and UK Trade & Investment.

The morning theme of Innovation and Research will allow delegates to hear from Dr Mark Richardson, one of two keynote speakers and Vice President R&D, Smith & Nephew Wound Management.

Smith & Nephew is a world-leading provider of wound care treatment and prevention products. Potential benefits to patients include fewer reapplications of dressings, less discomfort and pain, faster healing and reduced risk of complications such as infection and amputation.

Peter McPartland, from Nucleus Biomed, will be the second keynote speaker, introducing the afternoon session’s theme of Entrepreneurship and Funding.

The event will also feature a range of practical ‘surgeries’ and allows delegates to participate in University tours around the Henry Wellcome Centre for Biocatalysis, the Bioimaging Centre, Molecular Genetics Laboratory, Exeter Advanced Technologies (X-AT) and the Multiphoton Imaging and Spectroscopy Laboratory.
