Optimum’s 17th Annual Healthcare Investor Conference: 9th October 2025, London, UK
The conference is one of Europe’s leading life sciences thought leadership conferences and attracts major investors from across the healthcare and life sciences sector representing more than US$300bn in capital focused on the sector. Their mission is to back the future champions that will make a significant impact on patient care. The invitation-only audience of 250 also includes CEOs of many of the UK and Europe’s most innovative companies that are developing next generation therapies.
This year is one of relentless disruption and uncertainty as our industry grapples with US health policy and the potential impact on the sector. How can companies with great science get the capital they need to develop the drugs required to fill the looming patent cliff which Pharma is facing in 2025 onwards?
The event runs a strict guestlist and is invite only, but you are welcome to register your interest here.
