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!

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.
