The Global Britain Investment Fund will provide £354m to UK Life Sciences. The funding will be spent over a three-year period from April 2022. HM Treasury aggregates funds from various funding streams to finance the investments announced at Spending Review 2021, including the Global Britain Investment Fund. The individual funding sources for the Global Britain Investment Fund are therefore not known.
