Bruntwood SciTech, the 50:50 JV between Bruntwood and Legal and General, has launched a nationwide initiative to connect experienced mentors, advisors and corporate partners with high-growth businesses in the UK life sciences sector.

The Biospheric Network will support customers within Bruntwood SciTech's network of more than 500 businesses, based across innovation districts in cities including Manchester and Cheshire's Alderley Park, and we are delighted to be on board as a corporate partner.
