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

50 years of life-changing therapies

On November 12 1975, the first allogeneic bone marrrow transplantation in Sweden was performed at Huddinge Hospital, here in Flemingsberg. On November 12 1975, the first allogeneic stem cell transplantation in Sweden was performed at Huddinge Hospital, here in Flemingsberg. From nuclear catastrophe the foundations of bone marrow transplantation had emerged, and with it, the birth of modern stem cell therapy — the same principles that today underpin cell and gene therapies and CAR-T treatments.

The Royal Opera and Idun Lovén Art School Create Art in Flemingsberg

In Flemingsberg, education, art, and culture come together in a unique way. Now, the Royal Opera and Idun Lovén Art School are launching a collaboration where students will work side by side with professional set painters to create a backdrop painting that will adorn the opera’s foyer in Scenhuset in Flemingsberg.

She’s Building Bridges Between People and Place – Meet Karin, the Placemaker Behind the Future of Flemingsberg

Karin Lekberg is paving the way for the Flemingsberg of the future — a place where knowledge and creativity meet. She envisions a vibrant area full of culture, evening and nightlife, and a natural meeting place for both students and creators. But when the goal feels far away, it’s about starting where you are — creating life and activity here and now, and above all, building on the stories that already exist, allowing the place to grow into its future.
