The Scottish healthcare, medtech and life sciences sectors are currently undergoing a systemic transformation, shifting from a collection of academic research clusters into a globally competitive industrial powerhouse.

Having already surpassed its interim 2025 goal of £8 Billion four years ahead of schedule, generating over £10 Billion by early 2021, the industry is leveraging a unique "Triple Helix" of collaboration between academia, industry, and the National Health Service (NHS) Scotland.
