Following the outcome of the UK’s referendum on membership of the European Union, the BIA has worked closely with members and stakeholders to identify the threats and opportunities for biotech post-Brexit and to represent the sector.
The BIA Brexit Briefing webinars provide a monthly update on Government policy, progress of working groups, and how these potentially affect companies in life sciences. Visit their dedicated microsite www.biabrexit.org to view all the information and guidance for the sector.
