Clinigen shortlisted for Private Business Awards 2026

Clinigen has been shortlisted for VC/PE Backed Business of the Year at the Private Business Awards 2026, sponsored by BDO.

The awards recognise the UK’s privately owned and private equity-backed businesses that are driving growth, innovation and long-term impact across the economy.

Clinigen’s inclusion on the shortlist reflects a year of continued progress: expanding access to critical medicines, strengthening its global capabilities, and supporting biopharma partners to bring treatments to patients in complex and highly regulated markets.

Now in its second year, the Private Business Awards attracted more than 700 nominations across 11 categories, with finalists selected by an independent panel of industry experts. Winners will be announced at the awards ceremony in September this year.

Dr Varun Sethi, CEO at Clinigen, said:
“Being shortlisted is a reflection of the role our teams play in enabling medicines reach patients who need them.

Over the past year, we’ve continued to expand our capabilities and work closely with our partners to navigate complex pathways and deliver therapies to patients faster. This recognition is really about that collective effort, and the impact it creates for patients and healthcare systems around the world.”

Mark Sykes, Head of Consulting at BDO, said:
“At BDO, we partner with and champion the ambitious private companies that are the heart of the UK economy.

It is these companies and the people behind them that continue to drive our economic growth across every region and sector in the UK. These awards shine a light on the innovation, ambition and success that should be commended and will inspire other businesses across the UK.

Despite economic uncertainty and a challenging business environment, this shortlist brings to life the impressive leadership, performance and resilience across the private sector. It reiterates the opportunity for the entrepreneurial, ambitious and growing mid-sized businesses that BDO is proud to work with. We look forward to celebrating with all the shortlisted businesses in September and would like to congratulate everyone involved.”
