Excellent to host @YNYMayor to showcase @YBRI_UoY future vision & collaborative opportunities across the region!
We really enjoyed giving a delegation of Polish biotech companies a big York and North Yorkshire welcome yesterday.
Our region leads the way in this sector, and we are home to a wealth of research, development assets and much more.
