Join us on Thursday 23 September 2021 for the Hardman & Co Life Sciences Investor Forum, featuring three companies from across the Life Sciences spectrum. The event will be hosted by Keith Hiscock, Hardman & Co CEO.
It has been an unusual 18 months as the world navigated through the COVID-19 pandemic. The sector has undergone significant change, both through coping with global lockdown and new working practices, and with the rapid development of new diagnostics, vaccines and therapeutic treatments. Meanwhile, companies not focused on the pandemic have had to respond to the changed business environment, with every sphere of their businesses experiencing new challenges. The pandemic caused a clear shift in R&D focus, regulatory approach, resource allocation and capital deployment, calling for strong leadership within the sector.
The presenting companies will share their journey through the pandemic within the broader context of their individual investment cases, followed by a keynote speech from Hardman & Co analyst, Dr Martin Hall. Each session will include a moderated Q&A session with on-the-spot analysis.
