Hosted by the Health Tech Hub based in the UEZ Hub.

Medilink UK, a membership organisation representing over 1350 medical technology and life-science businesses, is organising this free event to help businesses prepare for Brexit The number of health and life science businesses in the South West region has increased by 25 per cent in the last three years, making the sector an important regional player. The government maintains that the UK will leave the European Union on 31 October 2019, with or without a deal in place. To ensure life science businesses are prepared for this eventuality, Medilink UK will provide expert guidance and detailed information on behalf of the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS).
