Biofortuna awarded the Biomedical Start Up Company of the Year (sponsored by Baker Tilly)
Over 200 people from the Northwest’s biomedical sector gathered last night (Thursday 12th November) at the prestigious annual Northwest Biomedical Awards at Mere Golf and Country Club. The awards, organised by Bionow, the Northwest Regional Development Agency’s (NWDA) biomedical cluster support group, were a resounding success and showcased the very best of the region’s world class biotechnology sector.
The award to Biofortuna is recognition of the progress we have made from a small start-up company to manufacture of our first products in little over a year; this reflects a real team effort from everyone at Biofortuna and the vital external support from Liverpool Ventures, MSIF, NWDA and the 2Bio team at MerseyBio.
