Babraham Research Campus is delighted to announce the launch of its Growth Office Hours, a new initiative designed to enhance the wraparound support available to companies within LiveLabs. The programme officially launches today with a dedicated event and the introduction of Growth Office Hours, giving LiveLabs members the opportunity to meet one-to-one with valued affiliate members for tailored advice.
The Affiliate Membership brings together five valued professional service providers from the legal, intellectual property, IT, insurance, and regulatory sectors. The Affiliate Members will play a vital role in supporting LiveLabs companies, offering expert guidance and practical solutions during Growth Office Hours.
We are proud to introduce our affiliate members: Penningtons Manches Cooper, Forresters, DLRC, ZenZero, and Gallagher. Each brings expertise and sector-specific insight to help life science innovators overcome challenges and accelerate growth.
The launch of Growth Office Hours means our LiveLabs companies now have access to a network of specialists who understand the unique demands of the life sciences sector. From navigating complex legal and regulatory frameworks, protecting intellectual property, and managing IT infrastructure, to mitigating risk through tailored insurance solutions, these affiliates provide support at every stage of development.
By connecting our community with Affiliate Members, we aim to empower founders to focus on innovation, secure investment, and achieve key milestones with confidence. For early-stage ventures, access to this level of expertise can often come at a significant cost. LiveLabs companies will benefit from free specialist advice, helping them navigate complex issues and accelerate their growth. This initiative reflects Babraham Research Campus’s commitment to providing wraparound support that drives innovation and entrepreneurship.
The LiveLabs Affiliate Membership also offers a unique opportunity for affiliates to engage with some of the UK’s most promising life science start-ups and become part of the Campus’s vibrant community.
“The Affiliate Membership is an exciting step forward in our mission to create an environment where early-stage life science companies can thrive. By connecting our LiveLabs members with valued professional service providers, we’re helping to remove barriers to growth and foster meaningful collaboration.”
