We pride ourselves on supporting our members to catalyse their success.

We do this by keeping the life sciences community connected and informed, making us an essential partner. But don’t take our word for it, here is what our members and partners say.

“Being a member of OBN ticks all the boxes in terms of enriching our network, connecting with companies that we can support or collaborate with, maintaining our profile, learning from industry peers, and keeping up to date with the latest trends and industry news.”

“The best thing about OBN membership for Bulb Laboratories is the visibility it offers us. Connections we make via OBN, either through networking events or conferences, are very valuable for keeping us abreast of life sciences market trends, sharing intelligence and gaining new clients.”

“The best thing about my OBN membership is how it connects me to the life science community, in particular through the networking and social events. I’ve built some significant and long-term client relationships via the organisation, and met valuable contributors to our salary survey. I can remember when OBN was just a two-person organisation and it’s great to see how its evolved into a major influencer in the UK life science scene.”
