Welcome to CONEXEN Manchester – A warm and welcoming community for professionals and founders in biopharma, life sciences, and health tech in Manchester! Here, we invite you to join us for an informal and friendly gathering where connections are made, knowledge is shared, and friendships are formed. Come with an open heart and a willingness to “listen” rather than “sell.”
Picture this as more than just an event, it’s a life sciences community gathering. Our focus is on providing you with an opportunity to meet fellow professionals and founders in a relaxed and amiable environment. We’ll share conversations over delicious food and drinks, and leave with a sense of excitement and a pocketful of new contacts and ideas.
Join us for an evening surrounded by incredible people, and let’s make it a night to remember. Looking forward to sharing good company and creating memorable connections!
Theme: The Funding Formula: What Turns Great Science into an Investable Business.
Ground-breaking science alone is rarely enough to secure investment. So what makes investors back one idea over another?
Join a panel of investors, founders and industry experts as they share what funders really look for, the common pitfalls that hold great innovations back, and how to position your science as a compelling business opportunity for life sciences, biopharma and health tech businesses.
Expect honest conversations and practical takeaways you can apply to your own funding journey. And once the discussion ends, the room opens up for the genuine networking that follows.
Facilitator: Sameer Kothari ( Entrepreneur in Residence at the University of Nottingham)

- Dace Dimza Jones (Life Sciences Sector Development Lead – GM Business Growth Hub & Dealmaker – Office for Investment) and more to be confirmed!
