“We are reinvigorating our partnership between Government, industry and academia. That partnership presents an opportunity for joint ownership and shared accountability for our delivery; it has been built, and will now be realised, by all of us working closely together.
“Central to this will be the new Life Sciences Scotland team, reconstituted as a cluster development organisation tasked with ensuring that the voices of the sector inform every aspect of delivery.
“I am confident that, with strong support from Government, Scotland’s Life Sciences community will continue to push boundaries, think bigger, and take bold steps forward.”
