Foreword

The UK Department for Business and Trade (DBT) teams in the British Consulate in Barcelona and the Midlands team in the UK are delighted to announce a mission of leading British biotech companies to Barcelona who are in search of collaborations, new contacts, knowledge and pathways for business on 13th- 14th February 2022.

Businesses from across the Healthcare, Life Sciences and Biotechnology sector in the UK are delivering world leading products and services globally. The Midlands region is home to one of the most important Life Sciences ecosystems in the UK with more than 1,200 life science companies and 33,000 highly skilled jobs.

Significant strength in clinical trials in terms of both infrastructure and expertise are evident across the Midlands region, such as The Institute of Translational Medicine (ITM) located in Birmingham and the University of Birmingham Centre for Clinical Trials (BCCT), with its specific expertise in the design and running of medical device trials (D3B team) and high accrual rates. As one of Europe’s largest academic trials infrastructures, together with the Leicester, Nottingham, Warwick and Derby Clinical Trials Units, the cluster amounts to a significant proportion of the UK’s clinical trials capability. NIHR Nottingham Biomedical Research Centre, in partnership with Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust and the University of Nottingham, works on innovation and research in areas including MRI, Hearing, COVID-19 and Technology. Health Technologies Institute at the University of Birmingham is working on new technologies that could prevent scarring for trauma patients, early disease detection and better prosthetics. There is also the Imaging, Materials and Engineering Research Centre and the Medical Technologies Innovation Facility at Nottingham Trent University.

The City of Nottingham, where MediCity is based within the Walgreen Boots Alliance UK’s headquarters, is where biotechnology, life science product and diagnostics, medical device and industrial biotechnology companies can showcase their products and services to leaders and decision makers within Walgreen Boots Alliance amongst others. The area is designed to encourage collaboration and productivity.

With a diverse population of over 10 million citizens, the Midlands region in the UK makes the ideal test bed for global health and multimorbidity interventions. It is also a major centre for clinical research, which stems from its high number of world class universities, research centres and incubators.

We’re excited to introduce you to innovative companies from the Midlands region in the UK, who are well placed to work to provide the solutions for your needs. These Midlands companies who are keen to collaborate, do business, learn and meet you in Barcelona include Celentyx, Charnwood Molecular, Oncimmune, Reach Separations and Sygnature Discovery. Their company profiles are available below.

The companies will be participating the Barcelona Health Innovation Week. To book your 1:2:1 meeting with these companies contact the British Consulate in Barcelona - Jessica Griffiths jessica.griffiths@fcdo.gov.uk and Aurora Ortega aurora.ortega@fcdo.gov.uk.
