Life Science Fair Flemingsberg – With a Spotlight on MedTech

In February, over 250 engaged participants, leading voices from the ecosystem, and outstanding exhibitors gathered at Novum Research Park for a full day with a focus on MedTech. The result? A day filled with knowledge, ideas, and new connections where the importance of MedTech for healthcare, competitiveness, and society was at the center – and where Flemingsberg showed itself at its best as a meeting place for Life Science.

With a packed program, the day tackled the question of how innovation can make the full journey from idea to patient benefit. From the stage, we experienced presentations that wove together perspectives from research, healthcare, industry, and capital into a clear and comprehensive picture. Discussions ranged from a system level – how our healthcare system is designed and how we can shift toward even more health-promoting approaches – to concrete company building, where the interplay between scientific excellence and entrepreneurial experience was highlighted as a crucial success factor. It also became clear that product development, regulatory strategies, and market preparation must go hand in hand, and that standards and early regulatory choices can serve as strategic tools rather than obstacles.

We also got to see groundbreaking solutions – from precision sampling via fingerstick to minimally invasive catheter technology, as well as research in advanced modeling, sports technology, and digital solutions for a more sustainable working life. MedTech was also placed in a broader context, where Sweden’s unique strength became clear: the entire value chain is present here, with the potential to lead development.

Through the Life Science Cluster Flemingsberg project, we aim to create vibrant meeting places where industry, academia, and healthcare can come together to accelerate innovation and strengthen the ecosystem. Life Science Fair Flemingsberg is an example of that, and MedTech Day became a strong demonstration of the power that comes with bringing people, ideas, and expertise together in the same room.

A warm thank you to all participants, speakers, and exhibitors who contributed to the day – and a special thanks to MedTech4Health for support through MedTech Year 2026!

BIO-Europe – A Conference for Future Medical Innovations

BIO-Europe is Europe’s largest partnering conference for the biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and life science industries. The conference serves as a meeting place where companies, researchers, investors, and other stakeholders in the industry can network, establish collaborations, and discuss business opportunities. The event is held annually in various European cities. This year, BIO-Europe took place in Stockholm from November 4th to 6th, where discussions included advanced cell and gene therapies as the medicine of the future.

The Sustainable Societies of the Future: Social Capital, Green Transition, and the Power of Communities

We share our insights from two intensive days in Luleå focused on green industrial transformation, the significance and growth potential of the gaming industry, and how to build relationship-driven communities. We return to Flemingsberg with a continued strong belief in the immense potential of collaboration and cooperation.

Collaboration in Science promotes research collaborations and the future of Flemingsberg

Every two years, Karolinska Institutet and Karolinska University Hospital jointly organize the Collaboration in Science conference. This event serves as a meeting place designed to strengthen and promote translational research collaborations between basic and clinical research. It also functions as a platform for those seeking a deeper insight into their colleagues' ongoing projects or exploring the services offered by core facilities.
