One of the UK’s fastest-growing and most innovative sectors will take centre stage in the West Midlands this month as Life Sciences Week 2026 takes place from 21–25 September.
Life sciences already makes an estimated £6 billion contribution to our regional economy, with more than 1,200 MedTech and life sciences organisations across the West Midlands.
Organised by One Thousand Trades Group, Life Sciences Week will shine a national spotlight on that strength - bringing together leaders from healthcare, biotech, pharma, MedTech, diagnostics, research, AI, investment and industry to explore the discoveries, technologies and partnerships shaping the future of healthcare.
The week begins with a major Launch Day Conference at Millennium Point, Birmingham, on 21 September, followed by a series of events taking place throughout the week across the West Midlands and beyond.
Speakers and organisations already confirmed include Pfizer, AstraZeneca, Google, Glenmark Pharmaceuticals, SAH Diagnostics, the BioIndustry Association, Alzheimer’s Research UK, the NHS and University of Birmingham, with more being announced.
