BIA submission to the Treasury Select Committee inquiry on venture capital

The  BIA has responded to the Treasury Select Committee inquiry on venture capital.

In our submission, we share data showing the positive levels of venture capital investment into the sector in recent years but warn that a lack of UK VC funds poses a threat to the long-term sustainablity of the life sciences sector in the UK. We recommend a new scheme to bring together UK institutional investors and VC funds to facilitate fund creation and greater levels of investment.
