Stockholm Life Tech vital to Flemingsberg’s development

Flemingsberg Science is an active part of Stockholm Life Tech. It develops new opportunities for collaboration and co-operation related to Flemingsberg’s research and innovation infrastructure.

The Life Science Strategy for the Stockholm Region states that “the life science industry is of vital importance for the commercialisation and application of research and innovation breakthroughs for the benefit of inhabitants.”

The Stockholm Life Tech project is one of the ongoing initiatives aimed at developing the life science sector in the Stockholm region. The project is of interest and importance for Flemingsberg and Flemingsberg Science from several perspectives.

Firstly, it is a regional initiative in which Flemingsberg Science, together with project participants Region Stockholm, Akademiska Hus, Karolinska Institutet, KI Science Park, Karolinska University Hospital and Stockholm Science City work to support the development of the industry. Through the project, Flemingsberg Science becomes part of and co-creator of the goal that Region Stockholm 2025 will be one of the five leading life science clusters in the world.

Furthermore, the project enables the development of Flemingsberg’s research and innovation infrastructure (FOII). The project supports and simplifies opportunities for companies such as Vecura and ANA Futura to collaborate with small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) by developing different forms of co-operation and agreements, for example. This drives increased interest in Flemingsberg and the FOIIs from SMEs, and increases opportunities for more start-ups and growth in Flemingsberg, which is also in line with Flemingsberg Science’s new strategic objectives.

There are already SMEs that collaborate with ANA Futura and Vecura. One example is Biomedrex, which is based in ANA Futura; another is XNK Therapeutics, which has worked with Vecura for a number of years.

Flemingsberg Brought Color to Nordic Life Science Days

Flemingsberg is a place where research and progress never sleep. A place where someone is always working on a solution. During Nordic Life Science Days in Gothenburg, Flemingsberg stood out from afar — with an orange booth that, just like Flemingsberg itself, was full of surprises, experiences, and served as an excellent meeting spot for life science enthusiasts.
