What a thought-provoking week discussing all things HealthTech!   Kicked off the week with OBN (UK) Ltd BioTrinity 2025 Investor drinks here at Canary Wharf. A room brimming with investors supporting the growth of the global life science ecosystem. Mairi Dillon shared the life sciences vision at Canary Wharf, from the innovators and industry stakeholders already at home across the estate, to the scale of ambition for the future - One North Quay (which you can see being built from the window at Level39)!   It was a pleasure to attend the Tech London Advocates & Global Tech Advocates HealthTech Investor Showcase on Wednesday, hearing from fantastic speakers such as Caroline Cake, Heather Roxborough, Angela Kukula and more. Some key takeaways:   🤝 When building a university spin-out, consider the different environments you'll be operating in on your journey (research vs commercial) and anticipate this early on 🌎 Think about how to enter and access the US market from day 1, to show global impact and bring US investors to the table 🌟 London is a leading city globally for AI and Health 👩🎓 There are approx. 100k students studying science and tech subjects at any one time in London   Thursday we hosted the launch of the London Healthcare Innovation Forum, expertly curated by Skillwork (Jan Gasiewski & Ali Youssef) and team. A full house of like-minded individuals committed to innovation and growth in UK life sciences. Interesting insights from Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (Marinos Ioannides) on the impact of AI in healthcare, improving patient experience, care and outcomes. We also heard the personal and inspiring story from the founder of Enhanced Fertility, Andreia Trigo.   Loved catching up with industry friends and making new connections along the way. Happy Friday from sunny Level39! Mairi Dillon Jinjie Wang Aimee Tiernan Russ Shaw CBE Tracey Rob Perera CA PMP FCMI Helene Panzarino Canary Wharf Group Level39
