Jefferies, a full-service investment banking and capital markets firm, is partnering with London Life Sciences Week, delivered by London & Partners and the UK BioIndustry Association, to bring together the global biotech, pharma, investor, and research community in London.
Jefferies and London & Partners are uniting forces to drive connection, foster collaboration, and showcase the innovation powering the UK’s life sciences sector. Across 100+ events, London Life Sciences Week convenes founders, investors, researchers, policymakers, and global industry leaders to accelerate innovation, investment, and partnerships.
The Jefferies Global Healthcare Conference takes place the same week as London Life Sciences Week, situated in close proximity to London Life Sciences Week's main event. The partnership enables strategic alignment between the two events and allows the international life sciences audience to maximise their experience in London.
London Life Sciences Week supports the long-term ambition to position London as a global hub for life sciences innovation, investment, and collaboration. The week aims to not only showcase London’s life sciences strengths globally and attract international investment and talent, but also connect startups, scaleups, and investors, and bolster collaboration across industry, academia, and healthcare.
Commenting on the partnership, Tommy Erdei, Global Joint Head of Healthcare Investment Banking from Jefferies, said: “We are pleased to announce a partnership between Jefferies and London Life Sciences Week, which has been anchored by the Jefferies Global Healthcare Conference, now in its 17th year. The partnership underscores our shared commitment to strengthening London’s position as a global hub for life sciences innovation and investment. Jefferies once again looks forward to convening leading investors, founders, researchers, and policymakers to drive dialogue, forge partnerships, and catalyze capital across the sector."
Laura Citron OBE, CEO of London & Partners, said: “London Life Sciences Week is not only about bringing together the leading global voices in the sector in London, but also showcasing the incredible strengths the UK has to offer as a place to invest in this area. Our partnership with Jefferies is a testament to how continued collaboration in the field allows us to keep building and developing the London Life Sciences proposition in London, and create more opportunities for life sciences businesses to grow.”
