Dundee’s life sciences sector gets a £8 million boost from Scottish Enterprise


Dundee’s life sciences sector stands on the brink of a transformative era, spurred by a substantial £8 million investment from Scottish Enterprise.


This influx of funds marks a pivotal milestone in the region's quest to become a key player in the life sciences field. The University of Dundee’s forthcoming Life Sciences Innovation Hub is set to be a beacon of progress and innovation, poised to reshape the landscape of biomedical research in the area.


By providing state-of-the-art facilities and resources, the hub will serve as a nucleus for groundbreaking research and development initiatives, attracting top talent and fostering synergies that transcend disciplinary boundaries.


Moreover, the ripple effects of this initiative are expected to extend far beyond the confines of the university campus. With the creation of 800 new jobs and a projected contribution of £190 million to the local economy over the next few decades, the hub is set to catalyse a wave of economic prosperity and growth in the region.


This not only underscores Dundee's commitment to driving sustainable economic development but also positions the city as a frontrunner in the global life sciences arena.


As the cornerstone of the Tay Cities Biomedical Cluster, the Life Sciences Innovation Hub represents a strategic investment in the future of Dundee’s biomedical industry.


By nurturing a dynamic ecosystem of innovation, entrepreneurship, and research excellence, this initiative paves the way for Dundee to emerge as a hub of excellence in life sciences, attracting investment, talent, and recognition on a global scale.


The journey towards realising this vision is not just about constructing a physical infrastructure; it is about building a legacy of innovation, collaboration, and impact that will resonate for generations to come.
