Nexxus Scotland

Original founders in 2003

When Nexxus was originally founded in 2003 to promote and support research excellence, innovation and knowledge transfer within the life science community in the West of Scotland, initial funding was secured from Scottish Enterprise Glasgow, the University of Glasgow and Glasgow City Council, with match funding from the European Union (ERDF).  Additional funding was subsequently provided by a number of other organisations, thereby reflecting Nexxus's success in engaging with the entire life science community in the West of Scotland.
