Our work supports increased inward investment, growth in exports, and resolution of problems that could lead to disinvestment. OLS requires information on health life sciences companies in the UK to: • develop and evaluate government strategies and policies, including the Life Sciences Industrial Strategy, • identify sector strengths and address weaknesses/barriers to help create the conditions for UK business success in life sciences • monitor and map changes in the sector • support the Department of International Trade's Life Sciences Organisation (LSO) to target their resources on new investment and trade opportunities for the UK • produce an annual report 'Strength and Opportunity' which provides commentary on data and trends www.gov.uk/government/collections/bioscience-and-health-technology-database-annual-reports • feed into the UK Life Sciences website https://lifesciences.trade.gov.uk/map/ to support the company search functionality In 2009, OLS decided to collect its own company information following a review which found that the Office for National Statistics (ONS) data, and other published data did not adequately reflect the changing UK life sciences sector, and in particular provide the granularity of information to support policy making. OLS procured a contract to establish a life sciences company dataset that could address these data requirements. This was developed with input from stakeholders who helped identify companies and provided advice on the segmentation methodology. This dataset has since been maintained and updated annually (including in 2014 adding information on Government funding opportunities for health life sciences companies).
