According to Business Weekly,
“Cambridge based antibodies supplier Abcam plc has bought US-based MitoSciences Inc. which provides specialist antibody and assay research tools. And the Science Park company says future acquisitions are on the cards.” For full story.
Jonathan Milner, CEO of Abcam plc will be speaking at the BLN Growth Forum on 5th July. If you are thinking about how to grow and capture value in your business – and meet great people who are doing just that – it would be well worth making a day of it. Last year’s event was a sell out with delegates – entrepreneurs and investors – coming from across the UK and Europe for a day of talks from some brilliant and inspiring business people along with great networking.
The content alone is worth coming for but other outcomes for participants last year included investment, advisory roles, and a few career changes. As well as discussing some of the burning issues facing the leaders of growth businesses, the day considers what happens when things go wrong – and how to get back on track. You will hear stories of success – and failure – and walk away with relevant, actionable opportunities to help strengthen your business.
