BioBeat has long been more than a date in the diary, it’s a space where science, innovation and entrepreneurship meet, where ideas are tested, perspectives broaden and new possibilities emerge. On 14 May, One Nucleus is proud to support the evolution of BioBeat, recognising the significant legacy built by those who have shaped the event to date, as the programme enters its next chapter at Chesterford Research Park, Cambridge.

BioBeat 2026 brings together founders, investors, researchers and industry leaders for an afternoon of honest dialogue, practical insight and meaningful connection. With a strong emphasis on female leadership, the event provides a powerful lens through which to explore the realities, challenges and opportunities shaping UK biotech today.

Connection, Conversation, Community

Throughout the afternoon, BioBeat will create space for networking, debate and shared experience. The conversations that unfold between sessions are often as valuable as those on stage, offering opportunities to meet peers, exchange ideas and build collaborations across the ecosystem. One Nucleus is committed to preserving what makes BioBeat distinctive, honest dialogue, diverse perspectives and meaningful networking, while supporting its growth as an influential forum for shaping the future of UK biotech. BioBeat 2026 promises insight, inspiration and connection and we look forward to welcoming the community to Cambridge in May to explore the ideas and collaborations that will define the sector’s next chapter.
