Wales offers world-leading research, connected support systems , a pro-business environment and a growing network of biotech and medtech companies, making it an ideal location for life sciences businesses to establish and scale.
We’re committed to unlocking the full potential of our integrated national health system, which serves 3.2 million people. Our focus is speed, simplicity, and lower costs—for clinical trials and for testing, developing, and deploying innovative solutions.
We’re realistic about the challenges but clear on the opportunities - turning cutting-edge research into real-world results. This means new treatments, faster diagnoses, and more impact on people’s lives. Breakthroughs happen in Wales, creating jobs, improving lives, and driving economic growth.
Coordination and collaboration are at our core. We work across sectors, government, and industry, sharing insight and building trust to make Wales a place where innovation delivers for everyone.
