Campaigners and ministers are hoping a government-hosted summit on dementia research will help boost industry's waning interest in the condition.
Wednesday's event is being organised as part of the prime minister's 'Challenge on Dementia' initiative.
Ministers will tell the conference that the UK's "unrivalled" range of universities and NHS facilities provide the perfect platform for research.
It comes amid fears the push to find better treatments is petering out.
Last month Alzheimer's Research UK said drugs companies may "retreat" from dementia research without more support.
