What Experts Say

Howard Dawber OBE

It's really amazing to see 3,000 or 4,000 people here in Excel talking about the frontier innovation that's going to drive the next wave of businesses, but also improve healthcare for people across the country. This is my first time coming to London's biotechnology show.
I hear last year was great, this year is so much bigger. It just shows what an appetite there is and that London and the London Biotechnology Show are the place where the world comes to talk about this technology.

This is the second year I am attending this event and I really appreciate the fact that it is a really good mix of people from different backgrounds so academics, start-ups, big pharmas, tech companies and this event kind of brings them together both in a formal structure in terms of the sessions but informally as well. It definitely is bigger, much more organized, so good to see that. I see a lot of people who have returned to this event as well so thats really good because they have got good value out of it.

Quite impressed by the turnout, we're quite impressed by the variety of people that have come. I think we have nice connections for the future. I like the fact that you have a startup showcase ad that is going on at the same time, so it gives a bit of variety. I like that there are a lot of people walking around, people have the flexibility to choose whether they could go to the conference or whether they would like to go and speak to the exhibitors, so I like that flexibility is built in. Nice interaction all the way through from start to finish, so yeah, thank you for everything.

It's a fantastic event, there's quite a lot of different exhibitors, it's really interesting and also nice to see some other NIHR colleagues here as well from the bioresource.
I think it's good for industry, there's lots of different kinds of sectors and stuff to do with labs, so there's quite a lot of variation I think with people here today, so that's nice. I think we were invited last year, so happy to come again next year as well and make it an annual thing. Yes, I think there could be growth in the industry with more events like this that happen.
