About this Event
We are delighted to announce the second edition of the Cambridge × London Life Sciences Showcase taking place on 13th Jan 2027 at Minna Gallery in San Francisco during JPM healthcare week. Building on the success of the inaugural showcase this year, the event will once again bring together some of Cambridge and London's most innovative life sciences, biotech, and techbio companies alongside leading global investors and ecosystem partners.
The event will bring together leading voices from Cambridge and London's thriving life sciences ecosystems, featuring a keynote address from David Prior, Deputy Chairman UK and Global Senior Advisor at Lazard, alongside invited keynote speakers from across government, industry and investment. Made possible through the generous support of our sponsors including , , and .
The programme will feature Reverse VC sessions, where leading life sciences investors including venture capital, private equity, family offices and sovereign wealth funds will share their investment focus, current priorities and what they look for in emerging companies. Each Reverse VC session will be followed by curated company pitches, structured into three groups: Series A/B+, Seed and Pre-Seed, enabling investors to hear directly from companies building the next generation of life sciences innovations. The showcase will conclude with an extended informal networking session where investors can engage directly with presenting companies. The format is designed to highlight what makes these two ecosystems uniquely positioned at the forefront of global life sciences innovation.
