London BioAlliance
London’s largest BioScience hub created through London BioAlliance collaboration.
The London BioScience Innovation Centre (LBIC) based in Camden and BioPark based in Welywn Garden City are collaborating together to create the London BioAlliance, London’s largest bioscience hub.
The London BioAlliance is now able to offer bioscience businesses access to 6,300 sqm of high specification category 2 and 3 laboratories, write-up suites, offices, meeting rooms and events facilites.
“The London BioScience Innovation Centre has been extending to support increasing numbers of start-up biotech companies, based in London and overseas, since its opening� said Colin Howard, CEO of the London BioScience Innovation Centre. “The partnership with BioPark, to form the London BioAlliance, is creating a successful symbiotic relationship by helping us to grow, which will ultimately benefit the companies that we strive to serve.�
Both LBIC and BioPark currently support bioscience and medical technology companies through providing facilities and offering business support. LBIC successfully incubates new bioscience ventures whilst BioPark provides the grow-on space that companies need for continuing development.
The creation of the London BioAlliance provides LBIC clients with the capacity to expand whilst maintaining their London presence, whilst BioPark clients are offered the opportunity to have a London base with access to specialist LBIC facilities.
In addition to clients being housed in state-of-the-art facilities, the London BioAlliance also offers:
- start-up advice
- business training seminars
- support with grant applications
- access to business diagnostic tools
- access to the Business Link brokerage system
- access to the Learning and Skills Council’s training schemes
- access to UK Trade & Investment’s international business development services
Companies also have the benefit of accessing the academic resources of LBIC and BioPark’s parent universities, the Royal Veterinary College and the University of Hertfordshire.
The University of Hertfordshire’s partnership with Exemplas in the management of BioPark brings expertise in business support to the partnership.
