The overarching theme of this year’s conference is ‘Taking Bio-Innovation to a Global Market’. Our programme addresses this with content covering the three main pillars for growth in the sector; technology, finance and people.

The One Nucleus team and I know you will make full use of the presentations, debate, networking and the exhibition hall to catch up with old friends and make some new ones, update yourselves on trends in the sector and create and scope out new business opportunities. Please do not hesitate to talk with any one of the One Nucleus team. We are here to help you make the most of your time at Genesis and ensure you leave us with a spring in your step and light of heart knowing that you have just had a hugely productive day!

The One Nucleus membership continues to grow and we remain the largest membership organisation for the sector in Europe (by some distance, with over 470 organisations as members). The majority of our members are based in Cambridge and London with many of them here today.

Genesis continues to be a truly international networking exhibition that we intentionally evolve year on year. New for 2015 we have an intentionally reformatted Exhibition Hall affording all stands greater visibility, more specific Source Hubs (after the success of our inaugural Source Lounge last year) and 1-2-1 clinic options on (i) Get Ready for JP Morgan 2016 (ii) Outsourcing R&D and (iii) Preparing for Start-Up and High Growth. We have updated the core programme to include an additional Plenary Panel which increases the programme content and dynamic further as does the addition of the Farr Institute stream which brings in the health

informatics elements of the sector. We continue to have our partnering system for you and are delighted that the Life Sciences Hub Wales is our new partner for this. You can find partnering in the Fleming Room.

Last year we brought you the first ever ‘Genesis Fringe’ – a range of great events and activities taking place before and after Genesis that One Nucleus is delighted to support and promote. We got such great feedback from Genesis guests, who were able to maximise the benefits of their trip, that we have brought it back for 2015. I hope you have experienced, or plan to experience a Genesis Fringe event during your time in London. Do check out page 29 for details.

We are also continuing with the much appreciated (by us and guests) collaboration with the SCRIP team on Genesis. We have worked incredibly closely together on key elements of the day, evolving it to enhance the knowledge-sharing opportunities for you. The insights gained over the day will fuel the much anticipated SCRIP-One Nucleus Plenary Debate providing the panellists and delegates with the chance to share their suggestions to enhance success at individual, company and sector wide level.

Finally and very importantly I would like to extend a big ‘thank you’ to all our Sponsors, supporters and collaborators for helping to make Genesis happen.

I wish everyone an excellent event and thank you for taking part.

At last year’s Genesis event we brought a new concept to our conference, called the ‘Genesis Fringe’. This arose because we were increasingly approached to ask if we could promote an event being delivered on the days either side of Genesis in order to capitalise on the opportunity of and for Genesis visitors being in London. The fringe proved such a success that we have brought it back for you for Genesis 2015.

This year we are supporting a number of events as part of the Genesis 2015 Fringe including:
