About Bioscience York
Bioscience York is one of three technology business clusters that are part of the Science City York initiative. It was established in 1995 and over the decade has grown to a network of over 130 organisations throughout York and the surrounding area.
The network comprises major international companies, large government agencies, award winning SMEs, as well as spin-outs from the University of York, a large number of start-up businesses, and a core of established, successful small enterprises. Complementary to the strong research base at the University of York, the Hull York Medical School was launched in 2003.
The Bioscience York community is made up of organisations working in core biotechnology, drug discovery, plant genetics, wound healing, medical devices, and bioanalytical equipment. The healthcare and environmental areas of the biosciences are developing rapidly. In the cluster there are more than 85 bioscience organisations, which together employ more than 3 800 people. 45 of these companies are based in York, and there is also significant activity in Harrogate, Knaresborough, Malton, Ripon, Skipton, Thirsk and business growth throughout North Yorkshire.
Regular scientific and technical events are held throughout the year, with the aim of bringing the community together to share ideas, hear about new projects, and showcase current work.
You can register on-line to join the Bioscience York cluster and receive email notification of events and cluster-specific support. Once registered you will also have access to the Bioscience York virtual business network, which will enable you to post news and events of interest to other members, take part in on-line discussions, and add a profile of your own organisation to the website.
