OBN welcomes OPD as new Corporate Sponsor
Abingdon, UK. OBN, the not-for-profit member organisation dedicated to catalysing success in life sciences, is delighted to announce the appointment of a new Corporate Sponsor, OPD (Oxford Product Design).
OPD has been actively engaged with the OBN community for some time, regularly attending networking events such as BioTuesday® and exhibiting at BioForward®. With a strong focus on supporting the development and commercialisation of medical technologies, OPD’s decision to deepen its involvement in the OBN network through Corporate Sponsorship comes at an exciting time in their growth journey.
OPD brings deep expertise in product design and development —making their support particularly valuable to OBN’s community of over 520 member companies spanning biotech & techbio, pharma, medtech, diagnostics, investors, and service providers.
As part of their commitment to the OBN community, OPD is offering an exclusive benefit to OBN members: one thousand pounds of free consulting. This offer can be used as a standalone session or integrated into a broader work package, providing valuable input at any stage of the development journey. Whether for early concept generation, strategic planning, engineering, prototyping or production support. It’s a meaningful way for OBN members to gain expert input and accelerate innovation.
They officially marked the start of their Corporate Sponsorship at the BioSeed® networking drinks in London on 9th June. The team is also confirmed to exhibit at BioForward this September and will be actively involved in upcoming OBN flagship events, the OBN Awards and BioTrinity® ‘26. They are also preparing to contribute educational content to OBN’s BioLearn® platform, with an initial focus on ISO 13485 quality systems.
“We are delighted to welcome OPD to the growing OBN network,” said Stuart Rose, CEO of OBN. “Their expertise in translating ideas into tangible and value-adding products aligns perfectly with our mission to support growth stage life sciences companies.”
