Life Sciences Hub Wales is an arms-length body of the Welsh Government, constituted as a private company limited by guarantee in 2013. It is wholly owned by the Welsh Ministers, and was established to foster collaboration and bring together academic, business, clinical, government, professional services and funding organisations to provide a commercially driven resource for the sector. The hub was reported to have over 7500 unique visitors in its first 18 months of operation. Its vision and mission is to developing opportunities to broaden the scope of the hub and creating value from engagement by NHS Wales with industry and academia.

In 2016, Julie Booth was appointed as entrepreneur in residence with the aim of working with six startup and early stage companies over six months with a dedicated programme of support to help them develop growth plans and become investment ready.

Following the death of Chris McGuigan the hub building in Cardiff Bay was renamed the Chris McGuigan Hub in his memory. The plaque was placed outside the entrance to the hub and was unveiled in a private event by his daughters Phoebe and Grace, accompanied by his wife Maria.

• Digital Health Ecosystem Wales
