MD1375 MedCity

The MedCity vision is for London and the Greater South East (GSE) to be a world-leading, interconnected region for life science research, development, manufacturing and commercialisation – to deliver health improvements and economic growth. It seeks to:

• address barriers to growing the London and GSE life sciences sector;
• catalyse and enable more research collaborations;
• foster a more entrepreneurial environment within academic and NHS institutions; and
• attract significant investment into the sector and region.

The decision is requested to approve MedCity’s draft 2014/15 Business Plan, and release the grant funding as a contribution to MedCity Limited’s costs of meeting the above objectives.
