Flemingsberg Science Foundation 2024 – New Opportunities Through Partnerships

As the year comes to an end, it is time to reflect and summarize our progress. We are now concluding year three of our four-year strategic period. Are we moving in the right direction to ensure that Flemingsberg becomes the obvious choice for establishments in southern Stockholm, offering a world-class innovation environment?

During 2024, several critical foundations for our ambitions have been established. Through our associated partnership, we have opened up opportunities for external actors to join the foundation’s work. We are thrilled that Fabege, Hemsö, and Huge have joined us. This partnership has also enabled us to launch an operational establishment office, providing the resources to make a real difference. Through this shared platform, various stakeholders can collectively communicate Flemingsberg’s opportunities. Another significant partnership initiated in 2024 is Trusted Partners. The goal here is to create optimal conditions for innovation and entrepreneurship within ATMP (Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products, including cell and gene therapies) in Flemingsberg. Our partners add value to our business community through knowledge seminars, workshops, and events. A big thank you to Key2Compliance, AWA, and Miltenyi Biotec Nordics for their contributions throughout 2024!

At the same time, infrastructure at Campus Flemingsberg has been further strengthened in 2024. The Innovation Stationinnovation environment has developed into a regular meeting hub for municipalities, companies, and other organizations, where innovation-supporting activities are now continuously conducted. In addition, Novum Labs opened this year, providing an environment where research-driven companies can grow. By 2025, Novum will feature the Stockholm region’s most exciting mix of life science activities!

Finally, we can celebrate an early Christmas gift. It has just been confirmed that our regional fund application for Cluster Engine Life Science Flemingsberg has been approved. See the press release here!

We are definitely moving in the right direction!

Merry Christmas!

CEO, Flemingsberg Science Foundation

A national resource for tomorrow’s treatments – Karolinska ATMP Center is now inaugurated

With a clear message of hope for the future and a powerful spirit of collaboration, the Karolinska ATMP Center in Flemingsberg was inaugurated at the end of August. The center is a collaboration between Karolinska Institutet and Karolinska University Hospital and will serve as a national resource for the production of advanced therapies (ATMPs), where research, clinical trials, and treatments work seamlessly together to deliver groundbreaking therapies to patients.

Meetings That Shape the Future: Flemingsberg Science at Almedalen

In June this year, the foundation took part in the annual Almedalen Week, the world’s largest democratic meeting place for everyone who wants to join the discussions on current societal issues. This year, we had a special focus on Life Science, an area and cluster that has long been a natural part of Flemingsberg, and which is now growing stronger than ever.

Meet us at NLSDays

In the south of Stockholm you’ll find Flemingsberg, home to a vibrant life science cluster that’s rapidly emerging as an attractive location for life science companies. Here, academia, business and society form a dynamic ecosystem, fueling innovation and growth. And with more companies establishing and collaborations further deepening, the opportunity to expand and invest have never been greater. This year, we are therefore participating in NLSDays in Gothenburg, where we will showcase Flemingsberg's unique strengths and invite more stakeholders to become part of our thriving life science environment.
