BIOForward 2026

Connecting life sciences innovators with the partners they need to grow.


Zeta Building Harwell

What it is

A one-day event bringing the life sciences R&D community together with the service providers who support it — contract research, manufacturing, regulatory, quality, IP and the rest. The day is built around targeted networking rather than a lecture programme, with knowledge-sharing workshops on the practical problems that come with growing a research organisation. Attendees are typically leaders and decision-makers at growing R&D companies, across all therapy areas and technologies.

Run by BioUK at the Zeta Building on Harwell Campus. Free to attend for research scientists and R&D companies; exhibitor and sponsorship packages are separate.
