Foundations for a Future Innovation District through Partnership



The University of Edinburgh and Edinburgh BioQuarter

Discover the University of Edinburgh’s cutting edge facilities and how they support innovation of translational research.

We have two events where you can explore how you can work with us as we open our doors to a campus that gives you access to: our breadth of academic researchers across disciplines, patients, clinicians, scientists and partners. As well as access to state of the art clinical and pre-clinical research facilities, that can help you develop innovative ideas to deliver solutions to the world’s biggest medical challenges.

The first event takes a deeper look at the facilities and technologies that provide the foundation to developing an innovation district. The second event is the Bioquarter vision of developing such an innovation ecosystem that promotes academic and industry collaboration to accelerate translational research innovation.

These events were held recently and are of particular interest to industry organisations and academia. If you missed these live events, the recordings are now available below!
