💥 The @BIA_UK's just-released annual report noted that TechBio has moved “from a niche field to the mainstream,” and accounts for over 40% of all UK biotech deals in recent years, including Recursion’s £490 million combination with Exscientia in 2024.

During the opening keynote at TechBio UK last week, co-founder and CEO @RecursionChris pointed to the sector’s leading indicators of success – with AI-discovered medicines already outperforming traditional pipelines, and Phase 1 success rates well above industry averages – as well as the opportunity he sees for exponential growth, building on the UK’s enormous tech talent.

As Chris said, this is just the beginning.
