Flemingsberg Science leads ecosystem development with Stockholm Life Tech

Within Stockholm Life Tech, we are currently working on developing the Life Science ecosystem at Campus Flemingsberg. And the first step in this process is a review of everything from academia to innovation support.

Participating organisations in Stockholm Life Tech include Stockholm Science City Foundation, Karolinska Institutet, Flemingsberg Science, Akademiska Hus, and Karolinska Institutet Science Park. The project lead is Region Stockholm. Our objective is to make laboratories and research and innovation infrastructure available to small and medium-sized businesses in and around Stockholm’s two leading life science environments: Hagastaden and Flemingsberg. Everything we do is intended to accelerate the growth of life science companies and build the attractiveness of the Stockholm region.

Developing the ecosystem
Part of realising these goals is to develop the Life Science ecosystem. Among other things, this is about bringing together actors such as businesses, researchers, institutions, business support, politics and more, to build consensus around what is needed to further develop Life Science.
This might be about various types of support that are missing, for example advice, or the need for more collaboration, or structural barriers that need to be removed. In the project, this work has been led by KI Science Park, but from June 2022 it has been headed by Flemingsbergs Science, which means we will focus on Campus Flemingsberg.
For the remaining duration of the project, we plan to carry out an analysis of the existing ecosystem in Flemingsberg, with a focus on highlighting areas such as education, research, talent, infrastructure, business clusters, innovation support, attractiveness and expansion opportunities.
We are also planning a seminar on how the future Life Science ecosystem will look. The seminar will coincide with the official opening of A Working Lab’s co-working space at Alfred Nobels allé 10.

Capital of Life at Nordic Life Science Days: Spotlight on Stockholm–Uppsala

Earlier this year, Region Stockholm and Region Uppsala adopted a joint life science strategy. The strategy brings together stakeholders from academia, business, healthcare and the public sector, united by a shared ambition: to develop Stockholm–Uppsala into one of the world’s leading life science clusters. Within the strategy is the Capital of Life initiative, that brings together all stakeholders and supporting organizations to contribute to its implementation through long-term, strategic collaboration. At this year’s Nordic Life Science Days, the initiative came together...

Novum Kitchen – a new restaurant in the heart of Novum Research Park

With classic flavors and the ambition of becoming the neighborhood’s living room, newly opened Novum Kitchen aims to create a restaurant for both everyday meals and special occasions. We sat down for a chat with owner Lahdo Sharro.

How Do You Build a Place Where More Organizations Want to Establish Themselves?

What is it that actually makes a company, research environment or organization choose to establish itself in a particular place? It is rarely just about premises or geography. Just as important are access to talent, networks, collaboration and a shared direction for the future. In Flemingsberg, a number of stakeholders are working together through Etableringskontor Flemingsberg to strengthen the area’s attractiveness and create the best possible conditions for future establishments. Pernilla Boström tells us more about the work, the goals and what we took away from a study visit to Lund and Malmö.
