MediWales will be holding our Finance and Funding seminar on the 13th October, which will kindly be hosted by Capital Law at their offices in Cardiff.

The event will help our community of life sciences and health technology companies navigate the complex landscape of funding and investment.

The event provides practical insights into securing investment for innovation, growth and commercialisation. Attendees will gain access to expert advice and networking opportunities.

Designed to support fundraising for Spin-outs, Pre-Seed, Seed and series A, with an investor panel, technology showcase and presentations from grant funding and business support organisations.
