SCI-TECH DARESBURY’S POST-BBN HYBRID WEBINAR

Innovate with Confidence: Managing Risk in Early-Stage Science & Tech
Hosted by:Darci Edwards, Head of Tech & Life Science, Vista Insurance Brokers (+ optional guest speaker from CFC Underwriting, Tech, Cyber and Life Sciences)
Event Content
This session, co-hosted by Vista Insurance Brokers and CFC Underwriting, is designed to help startups and R&D-led businesses in science and technology better understand and manage the key risks that can impact innovation and growth.
It will cover practical insights on navigating regulatory hurdles, protecting intellectual property, managing cyber threats, avoiding product liability issues, and ensuring data privacy compliance. Drawing on real-life examples and underwriting experience, we’ll show how smart risk management (including tailored insurance) can support funding, partnerships, and international expansion.
This is ideal for founders, technical leads, and operational teams working in science, deep tech, digital health, medtech, and advanced engineering.
The session will be educational, not sales-focused—with actionable takeaways, a short Q&A, and optional follow-ups with Vista for those who want tailored advice.
