Academic Health Science Network, MedCity & others
• Secretariat and support service for letters to ministers
• A range of OBN SIG’s to focus & drive advocacy• Local roots, national influence• Collaborations with ABPI, ABHI, BIA & others to
co-ordinate and enhance advocacy at a national level
Advocacy – range of activities
Clusters
• Life Science organisations prosper when embedded within recognised clusters with an integrated support system and dynamic business networks
• An integration agent is required to foster and develop collaborative & networking opportunities between these organisations and act as facilitator and the ‘glue’ that holds the initiative together
• OBN acts as that glue
• People have to believe they are part of a cluster
Identity Focus Competitive advantage Promotion
Follow-on investors dislike debt, especially convertible
Preferential conversion terms and anti-dilution clauses will likely act to the detriment of other investors
Security will likely be over the “crown jewels” leaving other investors potentially disadvantaged in a crisis
Other shareholders will not be equal Tax treatment may be challenging Accounting treatment will eventually be a nightmare And should a stock market listing arrive, multiple
valuations are likely to be required
Disadvantages of dilutable funding?
UK MRC MICA project Wellcome Trust seeding drug discovery Biomedical Catalyst (BMC), MRC, Innovate UK / Catapults,
NIHR / i4i programme, Export Support (DIT)
EU Framework Programme - Strong incentive to include SME's Usually basic academic research but can support company activities EU Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI)
US NIH … open to UK companies
Charities - sector specific e.g. Michael J Fox, Bill Gates

What is an SME?
• To count as an SME, your organisation must be engaged in an economic activity and must have:– fewer than 250 employees; and– an annual turnover of no more than €50 million and/or– an annual balance sheet of no more than €43 million.
• Whether you count as an SME may depend on how you count your workforce, turnover or balance sheet.
• For more details:– http://ec.europa.eu/enterprise/policies/sme/files/sme_defini
tion/sme_user_guide_en.pdf
SME self-assessment wizardBased on organisational financial data and headcount
• Shareholders/shareholdings may affect status (non-autonomous)• Assessment optional and only required if participating in SME specific actions
• Can’t apply for an SME action if entity not validated as SME in last 2 years• The wizard produces an instant result and summary of data• The wizard isn’t a model of clarity…• Typical issues: status expired, no economic activity, applicants leave it too late, applicants believe they are SMEs but aren’t!

Most common mistakes to avoid when writing a proposal
• TRL not convincing but don’t over complicate the TRL• Too focused on the product and the technical detail rather than the
market and how the company will make money. IMPACT section is the most important section (1.5 marks weighing)
• Skills set to commercialise not present• Section 4 is not part of the evaluation 1‐3 but it gives you opportunity to
sell yourself and your company• Excellence not linked to Impact and Implementation
Need to tell a story.• Make it easy to read – how many wrote the proposal? WHO wrote the
proposal?• Don’t underestimate Phase 1
