SUMMARY:Creating a Scientific Superpower
DESCRIPTION:Following the publication of Bidwells’ recent repot ‘Radical Capital’\, UKSPA are proud to support their upcoming national conference\, ‘Creating a Scientific Superpower’ taking place at the QEII Conference Centre in London on the 20th June 2022. \nThe UK government has vowed to restore Britain’s standing as a global science and technology superpower. \nThe Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine has already shown what is possible if the UK’s innovation ecosystem is fully supported – and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. \nThe UK is home to world-leading innovation in life sciences\, space\, energy and future transport\, yet the question remains: how do we fully unlock the country’s innovation potential to catapult global Britain? \nWith its globally renowned universities\, rapidly growing spin-out businesses and multinational enterprises\, the Oxford-Cambridge Arc has the potential to lead this national mission by becoming the UK’s Silicon Valley and doubling its economy to £235bn by 2030. \nThis major conference\, with speakers including AstraZeneca\, UKRI\, Oxford Properties\, Harwell Campus\, BitBio and many more\, will bring together leading scientists\, government ministers\, scientific enterprises and investors with more than 400 delegates to discuss how the UK can become a scientific superpower. \nFor more information\, and to register for your free place\, CLICK HERE

SUMMARY:Anaerobic Digestion event: Innovation to unlock growth in the AD industry
DESCRIPTION:About this event\n\n\nThe anaerobic digestion (AD) industry faces a challenging future of dwindling subsidies and increasing environmental regulatory standards. New technologies could be the way forward: offering the possibility of wider feedstock choice\, increased productivity\, new income streams or pollution solutions. This meeting aims to reconsider what is possible at an AD plant by exploring just some of the exciting innovations that are out there. It should be of interest to operators\, technology providers\, waste managers and researchers. It is combined with a networking session over lunch. \nThis is a hybrid event.

SUMMARY:Emerging data technologies in life sciences
DESCRIPTION:The UK Bioscience Forum will return in October 2020 as a two day virtual event\, with the theme emerging data technologies. \nRecent years have seen an explosion of emerging data technologies in the biotech sector. Many of these address long-standing challenges in the industry\, offering the potential to reduce the time and cost of drug discovery\, and to target beyond what was previously possible. But new opportunities bring new challenges. Ethical harnessing of data\, access to and governance of data\, skills and interoperability all provide significant hurdles. \nLife science companies\, keen to tap into computational power and access the potential of vast datasets\, will need different capabilities to take the potential forward.  Equally\, technology-based organisations need to get to grips with the world of biotech in order to understand where they can add the most value.
