However, now the asset class is maturing, alongside economic uncertainty, rising interest rates and inflation impacting the market, how will the sector fare in 2024? Join us to find out!
What You'll Learn:
- Evolving tenant demands and how to design your lab space to attract the best life sciences talent
- How to achieve sustainable and long- term returns through investment
- How Good Manufacturing Process and life sciences interacts

- How to create infrastructure and collaborate to support the UK's life sciences ecosystem with real estate developments
- Future trends such as repositioning and upgrading a life sciences building
