The UK’s Industrial Strategy and Life Sciences Sector Plan emphasise place-based clusters and Innovation Zones as engines of economic growth and health improvement. Yet, Wessex—despite its world-class assets—has not been featured in these plans.
This workshop hosted by Health Innovation Wessex in November 2025 set out to change that, by defining ‘Why Wessex’: a compelling value proposition to attract government investment in the life sciences community and unlock opportunities for innovation and prosperity across Hampshire, Dorset, and the Isle of Wight.
This version of the event film is subtitled.
