Speakeasy produced an attention-grabbing two-minute film to open the flagship Scottish Life Sciences Dinner, showing the history of the life sciences industry in Scotland.

The brief from Scottish Enterprise was to promote Scottish excellence abroad, encouraging greater foreign investment and the globalisation of Scottish companies.

Combining a heart monitor sound effect with established visuals of life – planet earth, a beating heart, an unborn baby, and a DNA helix – our film showcases Scottish life sciences discoveries and innovations from Alexander Fleming’s breakthrough with penicillin to the building of the first full body MRI scanner at the University of Aberdeen.

New footage shot at companies including Calcivis, BioAscent and Fios Genomics brings the review of the life sciences industry right up to date.
