We welcome the BioIndustry Association report, which the Government launched at the BioIndustry Association\u2019s event, Strategic Technologies in Life Sciences: The Future is Now, attended by myself on 24 January 2018. The Government is proactively supporting the UK\u2019s strong life sciences sector.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Government has published two Life Sciences Sector Deals, which are supported by the Government\u2019s commitment to delivering the biggest increase in R&D investment for 40 years. Since Autumn 2016, Government has committed an additional £7 billion in R&D by 2021-22, demonstrating clear progress towards the Government\u2019s ambition to raise investment in R&D in the economy to 2.4% of GDP by 2027.<\/p>
<\/p>
At Budget 2017 the Government also announced a 10-year action plan to unlock over £20bn to finance growth in innovative firms, including life science companies.<\/p>
