The BVCA’s inaugural Investment Policy Forum will focus on driving investment into key sectors of the UK and demonstrate private capital industry’s key role as a partner for economic growth.

This half-day conference will bring together parliamentarians, policymakers, think tanks and business stakeholders as well as representatives from the private capital industry and the businesses that they invest in. Throughout a series of panels, breakouts and fireside chats, expert speakers will explore opportunities for growing investment in UK businesses, policy solutions to boost the Government’s growth agenda, and the key economic trends where private capital is playing an important role.

CIC’s Dr Michael Anstey will participate in the Life Sciences panel at 3pm, alongside Scott O’Brien, Director at UKRI and Greg Wade, Head of Innovation Policy at Universities UK.

With a strong focus on forging connections, the conference will begin with a networking lunch and close with a drinks reception.
