BIA budget briefing webinar
On 11 March, the Chancellor of the Exchequer will present the first Budget of Boris Johnson’s new government. Will the spending taps be turned on for life sciences, will R&D tax credits be super-charged and will there be any nasty surprises?
Join the BIA’s Head of Policy and Public Affairs, Martin Turner, for an in-depth briefing on the Budget and what it means for the life sciences sector.
