It was a full house for the inaugural Enterprise Roadshow seminar and networking event organised by the Research Commercialisation Team on 18th October 2023. The Enterprise Roadshow brings industry experts to the University of Bristol with an aim to accelerate the translation of research, to maximise impact. The October Enterprise Roadshow event brought beLAB1407 to meet with University of Bristol academics working in drug discovery. BeLAB1407 is a partnership between Bristol Myers Squibb and Evotec, which invests globally in exciting academic research amenable for drug discovery funding. Investment of up to $1.5M is available for commercial screening support in each successful project. As well as a networking lunch and an interesting Q&A session, several academics had one to one meetings with beLAB1407 to present their research and discuss opportunities for commercialisation.

For the next Enterprise Roadshow Event, the Research Commercialisation Team brings Start Codon to the University of Bristol on 7th November, a start up incubator who invests in early stage science innovations. Please sign up for the event if you are interested in learning more about this opportunity and would like to join us for the networking lunch.
