ABPI response to Innovation Strategy

The government has published a new Innovation Strategy, which sets out plans to cement the UK’s position as a world leader in science and research. 

In response, ABPI Chief Executive Richard Torbett said: 

“If we are to meet the ambition for the UK to be a science superpower we have to unlock the potential - and support the growth - of the most innovative sectors, including life sciences.

"Our sector invests more in UK research and development than any other, so it’s great to see today’s Innovation Strategy include a focus on cutting-edge technologies like genomics, which have huge potential to help patients, create jobs and boost the economy.

“Combined with the recent life sciences vision, this strategy sets out an exciting road ahead.”
