Investment
Drug development is a sector in which Scotland already excels, and we hope to build on that success by making it easier for companies to break into the industry.
Investment potential and opportunities in drug development in Scotland
One of the ways we help to boost the industry is by enabling licensing deals between Scottish and overseas drug development companies and universities.
Our efforts to attract direct foreign investment are largely concentrated on research and development projects with high knowledge content.
The range of services we offer to drug development businesses includes:
- General business and life sciences-specific advice
- Access to specialist expertise
- Market information relating to the Scottish drug development industry
- Financial assistance including access to grants and funding
- Information on business location and staff recruitment
