Delivering the next generation of science and research real estate
Construction News & Property Week are joining forces to deliver a new conference for construction professionals, real estate advisors, investors and developers to explore the dynamic market of life science and research real estate development.
Life Sciences & Research Clusters will bring together experts who are driving the future of developments to meet the demand for building space in this thriving sector. Including life sciences, advanced manufacturing, technology and business-park cluster developments, this one-day conference will provide a unique forum to share how the built environment is delivering major projects to support the UK Government’s ambitions to become a scientific superpower.
Join us to discover the latest trends, the developments shaping the sector and the challenges that the sector needs to overcome to meet demand and deliver the next generation of science and research real estate.

Who will be there
Delegates are encouraged to attend from all UK construction, development and real estate firms with an interest in designing, delivering and managing the built environment for the life science, manufacturing, technology and knowledge economy sectors.
There is no shortage of work for construction firms in the burgeoning life sciences sector and research sector. With huge investor appetite, this pipeline looks set to provide opportunities for many years to come.
Our conference will be a valuable chance to discover where – and from who - firms should be looking for new business, and the techniques needed to deliver life sciences and research facilities to the high specifications required by clients.

The UK is a world leader in life-science universities but lags behind internationally in the provision of lab space for commercialising research. This shortfall has held back the UK’s progress, but thankfully it has not gone unnoticed. Developers, investors and regional authorities are all now poised to dramatically accelerate the provision of space suitable for science and technology development. “This event from both Construction News and Property Week will bring together all of the stakeholders necessary for the UK to make a leap forward in the space-race for life-science labs.
