Scottish Enterprise Life Sciences Awards 2014 – winners revealed

Held at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre on Thursday 6 February, the Scottish Enterprise Life Sciences Annual Awards ceremony was attended by over 750 people from the global life sciences community. 

The awards recognise the success and achievements of Scotland’s internationally renowned life sciences sector in areas including innovation, investment, community engagement and collaboration. The awards also focus on the ongoing work of Scottish Enterprise and its partners to grow and develop a sustainable, globally competitive life sciences sector in Scotland.

Scotland's life sciences industry already contributes more than £3 billion a year to the Scottish economy with over 650 organisations employing now in excess of 35,000 people. It is globally recognised for its high levels of innovation – translating ideas and research into novel treatments and world-leading therapies

Congratulations to this year's winners

The quality of candidates for these awards continues to go from strength to strength each successive year and is testament to the reputation and robustness of Scotland’s life sciences expertise.

The Scottish life sciences sector is a broad church, ranging from animal and plant health, to regenerative medicine and industrial biotechnology, and it’s our role at Scottish Enterprise to work with partners to ensure that each of these areas are supported so that Scotland can continue to improve and successfully compete on an international scale.
