Here at the Innovation Forum, we aim to encourage and facilitate innovation and entrepreneurship across the globe.  We are an accelerator for science-based ventures, supported by a global grassroots network of over 10,000 innovators, seeking to build bridges between industry, academia and government.  

We are seeking passionate, motivated individuals to join the Manchester branch of the Innovation Forum and support us in inspiring, educating and empowering academia, start-ups, industry and investors to bring science-based ventures to life.  

Working for the Innovation Forum as the Global Business Development Director allowed me to develop the skills necessary to succeed in a fast paced globally competitive business environment.

During my time with the Innovation Forum, I was able to build strong networks in the healthcare, investment and technology sectors across 3 continents, something which has greatly helped my current work at the sharp end of the convergence of technology and biotechnology.  

The Innovation Forum really is a force multiplier for ambitious scientists – the more you put in, the more you get out.  I would certainly recommend joining!
