Description
One Health is an approach to optimise the health of humans, animals, and ecosystems by integrating these fields, rather than keeping them separate.
A research study on the business case for One Health shows that every $1 invested in One Health generates $5 worth of benefits, demonstrating the opportunities of this initiative for many science based UK companies.
The UK’s trade and investment opportunities in One Health are framed around three factors:
- world-class science
- progressive innovative sectors (such as life sciences, agriculture and environment)
- a dynamic business environment
If you want to learn more about the One Health initiative; what the Department for Business and Trade is doing to address One Health challenges through trade; and what this could mean for the growth of your company, then don’t miss out on this session!
