📺 Optimum TV: Countdown to Conference
Ahead of Optimum’s 18th Annual Healthcare Investor Conference, our CEO Mary Clark talks to Naveed Siddiqi of Novo Holdings Venture Investments, who will be joining this year’s investors panel.
Naveed believes the life sciences market is finally emerging from a five-year “nuclear winter”. With IPO activity returning and M&A reaching record levels, there is a “real positive tone” across the sector, he says.
In this episode, Naveed shares his views on investment trends, notable deals, what investors are looking for in the current market, and whether in-person events still matter in an increasingly virtual world.
The conversation offers a preview of this year’s conference theme: Maximising Europe’s Potential.
