Investor-only dinner

This invitation-only gourmet dinner is taking place at an exclusive local restaurant renowned for its international wine list of over 2000 wines. The dinner will give up to 70 life science investors the chance to get together in an exclusive environment, and is the largest meeting of its kind in Europe. Kindly sponsored and hosted by Technomark Life Sciences. 

The dinner will give investors the chance to get together and network in an exclusive environment ready for the first day of the BioTrinity Conference.

A select group of qualified active life science investors have been invited to attend the BioTrinity Investor-Only Dinner, a gathering that one invitee has referred to as the BioTrinity international "VC Hall of Fame". This dinner provides a forum for closer working relationships to be developed and to encourage co-participation on future investment rounds in the UK life science sector on the eve of UK’s premier biopartnering and investment conference.
