We are among four other companies based in the Highlands and Islands. James Cameron, HIE’s head of life sciences, commented: “I am delighted to see so many high quality finalists from the Highlands and Islands. This reflects the growth in our life sciences sector and underlines the status of the Highlands and Islands as one of Europe’s most successful and competitive regions. The natural assets, the skills and the ambition among people working for and leading these companies combine to provide tremendous economic opportunities which benefit the region and the country. I am particularly pleased that we have been able to provide support for the majority of the finalists in developing the commercial aspects of their initiatives.”
