Life Science Fair Flemingsberg – With a Spotlight on MedTech

In February, over 250 engaged participants, leading voices from the ecosystem, and outstanding exhibitors gathered at Novum Research Park for a full day with a focus on MedTech. The result? A day filled with knowledge, ideas, and new connections where the importance of MedTech for healthcare, competitiveness, and society was at the center – and where Flemingsberg showed itself at its best as a meeting place for Life Science.

With a packed program, the day tackled the question of how innovation can make the full journey from idea to patient benefit. From the stage, we experienced presentations that wove together perspectives from research, healthcare, industry, and capital into a clear and comprehensive picture. Discussions ranged from a system level – how our healthcare system is designed and how we can shift toward even more health-promoting approaches – to concrete company building, where the interplay between scientific excellence and entrepreneurial experience was highlighted as a crucial success factor. It also became clear that product development, regulatory strategies, and market preparation must go hand in hand, and that standards and early regulatory choices can serve as strategic tools rather than obstacles.

We also got to see groundbreaking solutions – from precision sampling via fingerstick to minimally invasive catheter technology, as well as research in advanced modeling, sports technology, and digital solutions for a more sustainable working life. MedTech was also placed in a broader context, where Sweden’s unique strength became clear: the entire value chain is present here, with the potential to lead development.

Through the Life Science Cluster Flemingsberg project, we aim to create vibrant meeting places where industry, academia, and healthcare can come together to accelerate innovation and strengthen the ecosystem. Life Science Fair Flemingsberg is an example of that, and MedTech Day became a strong demonstration of the power that comes with bringing people, ideas, and expertise together in the same room.

A warm thank you to all participants, speakers, and exhibitors who contributed to the day – and a special thanks to MedTech4Health for support through MedTech Year 2026!

From Education to Societal Strength: Police Education and the Fight Against Organized Crime

At a time marked by growing insecurity and increasingly complex crime, the need for long-term solutions is becoming more urgent. As the police training programme at Södertörn University in Flemingsberg celebrates its tenth anniversary, attention is turning to the future. Together with SMOB, the university works with education, research and collaboration to prevent crime and build a safer society.

Taking the leap as a solo developer in Sweden’s growing game industry

Jacques Diringer left a secure job at the game giant King to follow his dream of creating his own game from scratch. In a Stockholm where the gaming industry is growing rapidly and new companies are launched every year, he now embarks on a more uncertain but creative journey. The path has been both challenging and inspiring, shaped by a vibrant gaming community, new collaborations, and the courage to trade stability for freedom.

Steps shaping innovation and growth – Natasha Bank sums up the first year of Life Science Cluster Flemingsberg

A future life science cluster isn’t built in a year – but with a solid foundation and the courage to act, important steps can be taken along the way. In February 2025, we launched Life Science Cluster Flemingsberg: a multifaceted project with powerful, interconnected ambitions – to enable Flemingsberg’s life science cluster to reach its full potential by collaboration and creating the right conditions for the establishment and growth of those who drive innovation – small and medium-sized enterprises – and, in doing so, contribute to the Stockholm region’s leading position within the sector.
