Agile Leaders Forum on Dealmaking & Investment Strategies that work!

A five-hour working forum for C-level leaders of life science R&D companies, capped at 16 participants and run under the Chatham House Rule so dealmaking experience can be shared candidly. Facilitated by Prof Tony Sedgwick and organised by Graham Combe, it mixes keynote interviews on UK, EU and US investment conditions (with input from Mills & Reeve and Mintz) with peer discussion and a networking lunch. Best suited to founders and executives weighing funding and partnering routes. Tickets are £60 all-inclusive via Eventbrite.
