Our Culture
Our Culture captures our Purpose (why we do what we do), and our Values (how we do those things)
Our Purpose is to catalyse success in life sciences
Central to this Purpose lie the R&D small to medium enterprises (SMEs). These organisations, and the Emerging Entrepreneurs who go on to create them, represent the future of healthcare, and their innovations have real impact on the lives of so many. They can only thrive in a mutually supportive ecosystem of investors, analysts, pharma companies, science parks, TTOs and technology/professional services organisations. Bringing these key players together sits at the heart of what we do.
Our Values underpin our Culture to support and catalyse growth in life sciences
Acting with Honesty and Integrity
Building trust with all stakeholders through regular, open communication, our decisions are based on always doing the right thing.
Being Supportive
All our interactions seek to support the individual and the process with a view to the best possible outcome for all. We think and act Win-Win.
Achievement through Application
Working hard to avoid unnecessary open-ended situations, as well as doing the right things, we do things right. Our standards always aspire to excellence.

“I feel we are very lucky that OBN exists to support our ecosystem of biotechs. They are a really friendly team who host excellent events that are both enjoyable and interesting, and nicely tailored to the needs of our industry.”
“OBN offers connections, advice, support and access to a great network of companies from which we can learn – plus the reduced event fees and lab supplies costs are very valuable. As a member Microplate Dx feels like it’s part of something bigger, alongside other organisations striving for the same goal – better patient outcomes.”
