Some 15 per cent of the UK’s life science companies are based in Scotland

Scotland’s thriving life sciences sector consists of over 630 organisations and over 32,500 employees across all of the main life sciences segments. Within easy reach of each other, they are located across the country, from incubator space on university campuses through to flexible space in business parks and tailor-made laboratory space in science parks.

Setting up in, or relocating a business to Scotland, means placing your operation at the heart of global research and development and at the cutting edge of the life sciences industry.

One of the key developments is the $1 billion Edinburgh Bioquarter currently under construction on the outskirts of Edinburgh. This will support Scotland’s expertise in stem cell research and will position Edinburgh as one of the world’s foremost centres for biomedical investment.
