The Healthcare & Lifesciences SectorThere are strong forces acting on society at present. On the one hand we expect to live longer and in better health. We believe we should be able to reduce the effects of aging, both physically and cosmetically. We hope to combat all diseases, at all ages and expect to be able to afford the medical and aesthetic treatments that prolong our well-being and positive self-image.

On the other hand, more people suffer from lifestyle diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular conditions and smoking related illness. Society expects equal access to effective treatment, but healthcare providers around the world are struggling to cope with this rising burden.

These expectations provide the demand that companies, university researchers and entrepreneurs strive to satisfy through innovation. This demand is forecast to grow at a rate well above the rest of the global economy for decades to come.

Longbow invests directly into that rising tide of creativity, providing the development capital and management guidance needed by the entrepreneurs of tomorrow as they work to turn great technologies into commercial successes.
