Biotech investment opportunities with iQur
Biotechnology companies were among the most popular and best performing investment opportunities for future investment.
“In the past few years Biotech has experienced record amounts of investment and numbers in the top-performing industries. In the UK in 2014, the medical biotechnology sector consisted of approximately 1,013 companies that generated a turnover of £4.8 billion"
(HM Government sixth annual report on the Bioscience and Health Technology Database)
The technological and scientific advancements in a start-up drug company make them fruitful opportunities for portfolio investors.
iQur, with vaccines in development for phase I testing, poses an exciting opportunity for investors, with a clear strategy for further development, early rounds of successful research, and relatively modest investment options.
iQur is a private company, only opening new rounds of investment periodically. Current stakeholders come from diverse backgrounds, including venture capital, managed investment funds and individual business angels.
In addition to private investment, iQur has been successful in obtaining international grants. iQur led a consortium that won £3.8 million funding from the EU Framework 7 Program to develop a universal influenza vaccine. In 2013 we successfully applied to the TSB-MRC Biocatalyst Fund to apply the Tandem Core platform to malaria in collaboration with Professor Adrian Hill at the Jenner Institute, University of Oxford. Funding from the TSB also supports a joint program with DTRA developing vaccines for Burkholderia.
An investment in the Company is intended for EIS relief. Investments of this nature carry risks to your capital as well as potential rewards.
