The research addresses the following key challenges that the European life sciences sector faces:
- Lack of suitable real estate;
- Lack of knowledge about the sector;
- Lack of data to make informed decisions;
- Lack of operational expertise; and
- Lack of alignment between funding and opportunities.
The report concludes that a strong case exists for investment in life sciences real estate, but success in this space will require specialist knowledge and a cross-industry willingness to share data, which is currently not yet in place.
