“Action, Not More Strategies” – Flemingsberg Science in Discussion on Stockholm’s Future Competitiveness

Three days with the spotlight on Sweden’s innovation scene at Science Week x Sweden Innovation Parliament. Here, leading voices came together to explore solutions that build resilient societies, support sustainable industrial production, and secure the skills supply of the future. Flemingsberg Science Foundation was on site to talk about Stockholm’s competitiveness, how to attract new talent to Sweden, and what we as innovation nodes can do to strengthen Sweden’s innovation ecosystem as a whole.

During the panel discussion “The Stockholm Region – Competitiveness in a New Geopolitical Context,”Flemingsberg Science CEO Johnny Högberg participated alongside representatives from Region Stockholm, Kista Science City, Stockholm Science City, Södertälje Science Park, and the Stockholm Region EU Office.

The discussion revolved around how to strengthen Stockholm’s and the Mälardalen region’s role in the global innovation landscape, and several key takeaways emerged.

“During the conversation, we talked about the need for action – not more strategies – to reach our full potential as one of the world’s strongest life science regions. It’s about courage, collaboration, and communication as crucial factors in attracting talent and creating environments where people want to live and thrive. We need to get better at telling our shared story. Stockholm’s strength lies in the diversity of its environments and people, and in our ability to collaborate across boundaries,” said Johnny Högberg

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. 

Novum – More Than a Place

The Park and the real estate company Hemsö have entered into a collaboration which means Novum Research Park in Flemingsberg will offer a first-class coworking environment for researchers, innovators, and creative minds who want to become part of a growing Life Science cluster. At the same time, the Flemingsberg Science Foundation is launching a film about Novum—playful and with a touch of drama.
