Overview
The Development Bank of Wales provides loans and equity investments to Welsh businesses across multiple sectors including technology and life sciences. It has played a significant role in supporting the growth of the Welsh health technology and biotech ecosystem by funding early-stage companies and university spinouts.
Through its management or participation in sector-specific funds like the now-liquidated Wales Life Sciences Investment Fund, it has supported several high-risk biotech ventures. While some investments were financially unsuccessful overall, the fund met its objectives to increase access to finance for life sciences companies in Wales.
Recent years have seen over £75 million invested into tech ventures within life sciences and healthcare through direct investment and co-investment.
