Our mission is ‘The advancement of human life science in Wales.’ Our focus is creating opportunities for our members.

Founded in 1992, MediWales is the independent life science network for Wales, a not-for-profit limited company that creates business opportunities and partnerships for our members.

We support 160 members from the medical technology, diagnostic and pharmaceutical industries, NHS health boards, university departments and professional services and suppliers.

We create collaboration through our publications and a popular programme of events that focus on strategic issues for the life science industry, including regulatory updates, market access, finance and funding, clinical unmet needs, international trade and a range of special interest groups.

Highlights in our calendar include the highly acclaimed UK HealthTech, our national conference, bringing key experts from around the UK and beyond to Cardiff for industry updates and networking opportunities, and the prestigious MediWales Annual Innovation Awards, an opportunity to celebrate the achievements of life science for Welsh industry and the NHS.

OUR MISSION

Representing the sector, MediWales creates business opportunities and partnerships for our members, and works to facilitate access to global trade opportunities, improve access to vital clinical expertise, and engage with Government to align support with sector needs.

We recognise and celebrate our members’ successes and promote the strengths of the sector within Wales and beyond.

Market Intelligence & Key Statements Engaging daily with the life science community, we offer vast sector knowledge to our members.

At the heart of the network and driven by our members’ interests and sector needs, our team provide one-to-one advice and support, and uses unparalleled market intelligence to connect industry, academic departments and the clinical community.

Working with our national and international partners, MediWales can help to identify potential collaborations and research projects, and identify finance and funding opportunities for our members.

To facilitate the sharing of knowledge and ideas, MediWales runs a series of seminars and events throughout the year; our biggest and most successful is the UK HealthTech conference, a reference event for the life science community and a valuable day of briefings and networking for the sector. This year brings our fourth annual conference, which will take place on 1st December at St David’s Hotel in Cardiff. Over 300 delegates come together to understand critical strategic trends that will impact on their businesses. The event offers the latest insights from key opinion leaders as well as a unique opportunity to engage with industry, UK regulatory MHRA, the clinical community and funding bodies.

Attracting delegates from over 20 countries and four

continents, last year was a highly international event with global impact and excellent business development, market access and export opportunities.

Clinical Access We work very closely with the NHS and health boards.

Many of the hospitals, health boards and clinical research departments are active members of MediWales.

Access to clinical expertise is an essential part of the product development process for medical devices and pharmaceuticals, and supporting clinical innovation is a high priority for MediWales. We collaborate regularly with the NHS and academic research groups to facilitate industry access and provide advice on routes to market, the procurement landscape, innovation adoption initiatives and introductions to clinicians.

MediWales has launched a series of clinical unmet needs events in collaboration with with Health and Care Research Wales and the Bill Mapleson Centre to help improve clinical innovation and patient care. Looking ahead, we aim to provide even more opportunities for industry and the clinical community to engage and collaborate, working to produce a change in the quantity, quality and speed of health and social care innovations across Wales. Our forthcoming event schedule will focus on clinical innovation, and our on-going collaboration with health boards in Wales will allow new partnerships to form and increase clinical access.

MEDIWALES ANNUAL REVIEW & DIRECTORY 2015 - 16

in communication

Communications High quality communication is essential for a network to work effectively. We create opportunities for our members to aid productivity and connectivity, and we do so through a range of activities. We deliver a busy events schedule, produce publications, and maintain a digital presence for our network, with 2,202 twitter followers and 38,189 website views, increasing every year. By constantly facilitating the exchange of information and offering promotional opportunities to our members, we provide a

variety of avenues to choose from to showcase their success and developments, and find new collaborative partners.

Our popular events programme covers an array of life science areas, with topics including regulatory updates from the MHRA, procurement, finance and funding, clinical unmet needs, and NHS events. These events provide excellent networking and business development opportunities for our members, with engagement options spanning speaker slots, exhibition spaces, delegate attendance and the chance to host the events.

Recognition We work hard to recognise and showcase the achievements of our members. One of our most highly regarded pathways for recognition is our annual Innovation Awards competition, which will celebrate its 10th anniversary this year. With ten awards across industry and NHS categories, the awards offer a platform to identify outstanding achievements in the life science sector in Wales.

Our 6 prestigious industry awards cover Innovation, Partnership with the NHS, Export Achievement, StartUp, Outstanding Achievement and Judges Award.

Over the past seven years, MediWales has worked in collaboration with Health and Care Research Wales (formerly NISCHR) to recognise the NHS award categories and continue to celebrate success in Innovation within the NHS, Partnerships with UK/ International Industry, Collaboration with a Welsh Company and NHS Judges Award.

in support

Trade Support The MediWales team regularly attend international conferences and trade shows including Medica Trade Fair and the BIO International Conventions, offering guidance and support to our members in a global setting, meeting new potential partners, and representing the Welsh life science sector to drive more business to Wales and our members.

As our global links strengthen, we can see wider international engagement reflected locally and we are proud to report that the UK HealthTech conference attracted representatives from over 20 countries across four continents last year. As a UKTI Trade Challenge Partner, MediWales can guide our members with export and trade advice, support companies that are starting to export, promote international trade opportunities and help facilitate international engagement.

Our work on the European Cluster Medical Device Programme with the Council of European BioRegions (CEBR) has allowed MediWales to engage with 40 clusters from across Europe to build an online directory of medical device SMEs and promote it worldwide. Launched in June 2015 on the Lifescience Innovations Cluster Space website, the online directory is promoted to partners and investors worldwide, with a hotlist of high performing SMEs published every 6 months. The first hotlist will be published at Medica in November.

During last year’s UK HealthTech conference, we launched Clinical Trials Services Wales, a special interest group formed to allow MediWales members in the delivery of clinical trials to meet the needs of their international customers from ‘molecule to market’, together representing a significant global force. Through this collaboration

the group are able to provide a more integrated and streamlined service, whilst demonstrating Wales’ unrivalled connectivity to the rest of the world.

Advocacy It is important for MediWales to represent the interest of our members, and lobbying Government is a key area of our work. In 2014, MediWales presented evidence to a Welsh Assembly inquiry into ‘Access to Medical Technologies in Wales’. The National Assembly for Wales, Health and Care Committee acknowledged the evidence and released recommendations on the inquiry. In response to the recommendations, MediWales organised a special interest group and produced a letter of key outputs from the group discussions, aiming for the widest possible sector engagement and to demonstrate an accurately detailed representation of members’ views.

Recently, MediWales was included in ‘The UK’s Contribution to Health Globally’, a report on global health by the All-Party Parliamentary Group, and was cited alongside Government bodies and strategic partnerships supporting the UK life sciences sector. Further to that, MediWales had the opportunity to represent Welsh Industry at the BIA’s Parliament Day, which led to engagement with British MPs and the chance for MediWales to voice calls for continued political commitment to UK bioscience.

We were delighted to collaborate with the Chief Scientific Officer for Wales on a recent project relating to the Precision Medicine Catapult (PMC), which allowed MediWales to arrange the PMC industry meeting and facilitate engagement between key stakeholders to contribute to the national delivery of the catapult.

MediWales Innovation Awards The Innovation Awards are a chance to celebrate the successes and advances of life science companies and the NHS in Wales. The competition is open for submissions until late October and the awards evening will take place at the National Museum of Wales. Each member organisation receives two free invitations to attend, with the option to buy a table of 10. As our most prestigious evening of the year, the awards are highly popular and dinner spaces fill up quickly, so advanced registration is essential.

“We were very proud to be an award winner! It provided an excellent platform to showcase our business to the wider sector and investor network.�

Bringing great life sciences ideas to life Just a few hundred yards from Cardiff University's School of Medicine is a red brick building. Inside is a cluster of high tech labs and offices, home to 26 busy and growing companies.

They’re each developing cutting edge life sciences products and services. This is where academia meets business.

Cardiff Medicentre is one of Wales’s most successful business incubators for biotech and medtech startups. It’s been based on the Heath Park campus in the grounds of the University of Wales Hospital since 1992 when it was established as a joint venture between Cardiff City Council, Cardiff University, Welsh Government and Cardiff & Vale University Health Board.

The centre was the first life science incubator of its kind in Wales and now provides 32 units of high quality office and lab space accommodation ranging from 284 sq ft to 1,045 sq ft. Low-cost desk leasing facilities encourage entrepreneurs to enter the Cardiff Medicentre community while writing business plans and raising finance, so every stage of start-up is catered for.

Cardiff Medicentre tenants include Alesi Surgical Ltd, MedaPhor, Diurnal, WIMAT, and Cansford Laboratories. Their products and services areground-breaking, and many are already well-established in global markets including Europe, North America, Japan and Brazil. Recent successes have included: ● a string of awards for Alesi and its Ultravision product which clears smoke created during laparascopic surgery. Among these was the prestigious Royal College of Surgeons’ Cutlers Surgical Prize for the best surgical invention ● MedaPhor’s listing on the Alternative Investment Market, and the launch of its US subsidiary to drive exports of its ultrasound education and training tools in North America.

Those are just some of the success stories. Past tenants have gone on to achieve great things, too. A number have graduated from the centre through expansion and acquisition, including the laboratory testing company Tricho-Tech which was acquired for £11.25m and the healthcare consultancy business Cardiff Research Consortium which was purchased by outsourcing giant Capita Group plc for £11.6m.

Cardiff Medicentre is where it all begins.

Aside from low-cost rent and lab and desk leasing facilities, the centre offers a range of business support mechanisms for budding medical entrepreneurs. This includes access to professional business advisors and to the Welsh Government's Life Sciences sector team, Cardiff City Council’s Economic Development Unit and Cardiff University.

Tenants are supported in every aspect of their growing business, from initial idea through to launch and active trading.

Those running Cardiff Medicentre have one simple aim: to provide the space and assistance new biotech and medtech businesses need to get up and running, grow and to thrive.

If you are interested in becoming involved with the Cardiff Medicentre's entrepreneurial networks and activities or would like to access business support schemes for a potential start-up, please contact Rob Jackson, Innovation Manager, or Centre Administrators Mair Davies and Jan Coward.

02920 757744 or

enquiries@cardiffmedicentre.co.uk

A word of advice: if you’re thinking about becoming a tenant at Cardiff Medicentre then act quickly.

Occupancy currently stands at more than 95 per cent and when it’s full, it’s full.

Acuitas Medical

Unit 8, Technium One Kings Road Swansea Waterfront Swansea SA1 8PH +44 (0)1792 485705 www.acuitasmedical.com jheinrich@acuitasmedical.com Swansea-based Acuitas Medical is currently in the final stages of product development of a proprietary Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) based technique – Fine Structural Analysis (fineSA®). Extensive human and animal studies have demonstrated that fineSA®. will identify non-invasively early changes in anatomical structures which may be associated with the early stages of disease. fineSA®. is expected to provide an entirely new method in diagnostic imaging, providing information on anatomical scales that cannot be visualized with existing in-vivo methods. fineSA®. data can be acquired in as little as 15 seconds and can be readily installed on any MRI imaging system, without modifications or additional hardware.

Having access to both highly experienced key opinion leaders and new trainees places WIMAT in a privileged position to receive feedback on modern surgical techniques. Alesi Surgical works with WIMAT and its network to identify issues with these procedures and potential solutions for them. Alesi Surgical then rapidly prototypes medical devices and tests whether or not the devices are capable of addressing these issues. Prototypes that successfully pass this decision point then enter full development. The company has strong relationships with a broad network of product development partners that allow it to take forward a wide range of mechanical and electrical product concepts.

Through its network of contacts within global medical device companies and distributors, Alesi Surgical is ideally placed to rapidly partner products with leading players in the sector to maximise the adoption of each device it develops.

Its first product, Ultravision, is a revolutionary new way of handling surgical smoke that is created during laparoscopic surgery. The product was awarded the CE mark in 2014 and subsequently received the Royal College of Surgeons Cutlers Surgical Prize.

Current pumps have clinically proven that LVADs are a safe and effective therapy. However, these devices have so far failed to exploit their huge market potential for two reasons: current products are too large (requiring highly invasive surgery) and they are expensive at circ $115,000 per system.

Calon’s technology addresses both problems and promises to realise the vision of LVADs becoming the routine method of treatment for heart failure. Calon have assembled a team of world class suppliers and collaborators to take their vision to market, such as Texas A&M, The John Radcliff Hospital Oxford, Swansea University, The Technology Strategy Board and the Welsh Government.

Innovation Village GE Healthcare, The Maynard Centre Longwood Drive, Whitchurch Cardiff CF14 7YT +44 (0) 7732782381 www.cmdiagnostics.co.uk cottonmoutondiagnostics@gmail.com CMD is a South Wales start-up company spun out of the Universities of Exeter and Cardiff to exploit major business opportunities in the field of point-of-care (PoC) diagnostics. Our technology is based upon an innovative magneto-optical sensing system that exploits changes in the rotational behaviour of magnetic reporters that either occur naturally as a marker of a disease or are artificially introduced into a sample. Initially developed as a diagnostic for malaria, CMD’s technology has been shown to be reliable, robust and sensitive, even when challenged with whole blood, through extensive field-testing in Africa and Asia.

To maximize the impact of this technology we are now transforming what is a highly efficient but niche single-analyte diagnostic device into a generic, multianalyte, fit-for-purpose PoC platform. Our primary application for this technology is in the rapid diagnosis of sepsis, a condition that kills one person every few seconds, however we are also interested in applications outside of the healthcare sector (e.g. veterinary, agrifood, pharmaceutical industry).

Haywood House Dumfries Place Cardiff CF10 3GA Wales +44 (0)776 969 8686 www.glyconics.com berwyn@glyconics.com Glyconics Ltd is developing novel technology for the clinical management and diagnosis of patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). The technology uses infrared spectroscopy of sputum to detect the presence of biomarkers that are diagnostic for COPD. These markers can also allow the early detection of disease flare-ups which is critical to cost-effective disease control. Having developed a hand-held device capable of testing patients in their homes or primary care this device is now entering clinical validation studies to confirm efficacy in the community and this data will drive first commercial sales in 2016. COPD is a major global health concern with over 250 million patients affected by this debilitating disease. Consequently the Glyconics technology is attracting significant interest in international markets thus enabling the potential to rapidly progress the technology into those markets as well as into the NHS.

Established in 2005 and based in Swansea, Haemair are developing the next generation Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) device. The initial focus is on post-operative support following cardio pulmonary surgery where it can both improve recovery rates and reduce hospital stays.

Respiratory problems cost the NHS over £2,500 million/annum. The much larger cost to society ranges from lost time at work to long-term support in homes and care homes. In the longer term, ECMO promises to support patients with both acute and chronic respiratory problems. Competitive devices are associated with an increased risk of blood clot formation requiring a level of anticoagulation that significantly increases the risk of haemorrhage. This risk currently limits ECMO use to a small number of highcost specialist centres. Haemair have demonstrated a device with the potential to reduce the risk of blood clots and hence greatly increase access to ECMO. Haemair has raised over £2million in private equity investment and has also benefitted from grants from the Welsh Government and from the NHS.
