Edinburgh and Life Sciences
Edinburgh is at the centre of Europe’s life sciences community, with research facilities widely regarded as among the best in the world. It’s home to organisations like the Roslin Institute, Edinburgh BioQuarter and Pentlands Science Park, and leads the way in research and innovation in the fields of human and animal health, agritech and related technologies. That makes the city a unique environment, where international colleagues across the sector can come together to further their knowledge and see for themselves the latest advances in the field.
Convention Edinburgh, part of Marketing Edinburgh, is charged with promoting the city as a destination for business events. We seek to engage with our key sectors to facilitate and encourage these gatherings, which ultimately result in a thriving knowledge economy. Edinburgh TechHour is a Convention Edinburgh initiative feeding into a VisitScotland national campaign to promote Business Events in Scotland on the global stage.
