Continued innovation and growth is essential to the success and survival of the global life sciences industry, and it is becoming increasingly important for organisations to work together to share resources, skills and expertise in order to address unmet needs in medicine. 

Collaboration can offer a solution when a company encounters a challenge outside its expertise, is looking to enter new markets and/or reaches capacity and can facilitate increased efficiency.  Whether local or global in scale, collaboration can be encouraged by co-location at sites such as the Cambridge Biomedical Campus (CBC), which combines top healthcare centres with internationally renowned research institutions and global life science companies.

This BioWednesday looks at why collaboration matters and will also discuss the factors that are driving collaboration in the life sciences, highlighting examples from the CBC and how it is promoting important new collaborations and partnerships through the exchange of scientific and clinical ideas and information across different organisations.
