Summer Greetings from Johnny Högberg

What’s happening in Flemingsberg? Launching a value proposition for Flemingsberg together with other stakeholders and starting to use a shared narrative is probably the single most important achievement for us at the foundation this spring.

But much else has happened as well.

During the past six months, we launched ATMP (Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products) Flemingsberg. It serves as a platform for developing and communicating the unique opportunities Flemingsberg offers to become a hub for more and growing companies in cell and gene therapies.

In 2025, Alfa Laval will relocate 700 employees to Flemingsberg, and this spring, we at the foundation, together with Innovation Station and Alfa Laval, began testing various development ideas. We have also discussed the impact Campus Flemingsberg will have on Alfa Laval and the effects such a substantial establishment will have on Flemingsberg.

The foundation is also in a phase where we have created opportunities for partners to join. With Fabege, Hemsö, and Huge Bostäder AB as associated partners, we are both strengthening our financial base and attracting valuable expertise, enabling us to move faster towards our goals.

We continue our work with strategic partners to contribute to the development of ATMP Flemingsberg, an area where we see significant interest from companies wanting to participate. If you wish to join us on this journey, please get in touch!

Finally, I want to remind you that we at the foundation will be in Almedalen, where we are hosting a roundtable discussion with Huddinge municipality for specially invited guests. There, we will delve into Flemingsberg’s importance for southern Stockholm as a global leader in life sciences. This discussion directly follows Hemsö’s seminar on how we can become world champions in health, open to everyone. You wouldn’t want to miss it!

We are soon taking a well-deserved break to recharge for the fall. Have a wonderful summer!

In Flemingsberg, we make everything possible!

Johnny Högberg
CEO, Flemingsberg Science Foundation

A Growing Arts and Cultural Scene in Flemingsberg
