Island promoted as secure location
Emerging biomed businesses seeking backers and a user-friendly location are looking closely at the Isle of Man as their next base.
So say organisers of last week's third Manx BioMed Conference, which brought together 140 delegates from different parts of the industry.
BioMed is where business, technology and medicine merge.
Firms in the sector are known for developing highly innovative approaches to diagnosis and healthcare.
The Isle of Man is promoting itself as a business-friendly, well regulated and secure location for biomed firms.
Conference organiser Courtenay Heading says it's a unique offer:
'Pressure in the system' but bed figures are wrong says Manx Care
Work permits 'form part of longer-term plan' says Johnston
First Deemster and Clerk of Rolls appointed to senior roles
Mother's Day recognition for women who ‘shape our community’
New clerk for Arbory and Rushen Commissioners
