Flemingsberg became part of a global hackathon

Today, Flemingsberg is one of Stockholm’s most exciting meeting places for creators, entrepreneurs, researchers and innovators. Through the Hack-Nation Global AI Hackathon, Flemingsberg became one of a select number of locations around the world where participants built solutions side by side as part of a global innovation event that brought together thousands of participants from more than 100 countries.

Students and researchers from Södertörn University, Karolinska Institutet, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm School of Economics and Uppsala University came together with high school students and experienced developers to take part in the HackNation Global AI Hackathon. The event was hosted locally by Flemingsberg Science through its initiatives Press Start Game Tech Hub and Life Science Cluster Flemingsberg.

What made the weekend particularly special was the mix of people, disciplines and levels of experience working side by side to tackle real-world challenges. Participants in Flemingsberg developed and competed with AI solutions as part of the same global hackathon as participants from some of the world’s most renowned universities and innovation environments, including MIT Sloan School of Management, Stanford University and Harvard University.

“What was so exciting was seeing so many different people come together and build side by side. Students, researchers, developers and young talent brought completely different perspectives, but shared the same drive to create and solve problems. That is exactly the kind of meeting we want to create more of in Flemingsberg.”
Leslie Alfredsson, Head of Press Start

And in February, it’s time to do it all again. HackNation returns to Flemingsberg for another hackathon, bringing new challenges, new connections and new opportunities to build together.

Stay tuned! The invitation and more information are coming soon.

Steps shaping innovation and growth – Natasha Bank sums up the first year of Life Science Cluster Flemingsberg

A future life science cluster isn’t built in a year – but with a solid foundation and the courage to act, important steps can be taken along the way. In February 2025, we launched Life Science Cluster Flemingsberg: a multifaceted project with powerful, interconnected ambitions – to enable Flemingsberg’s life science cluster to reach its full potential by collaboration and creating the right conditions for the establishment and growth of those who drive innovation – small and medium-sized enterprises – and, in doing so, contribute to the Stockholm region’s leading position within the sector.

Johnny Högberg Summarizes 2025 – A Year of Growth and Collaboration in Flemingsberg

We are most effective and make the greatest impact when we engage our founders and leverage their size, organizations, and influence, and we still strongly believe in this. At the same time, the fact that we have grown as an organization has also made a difference. Today, we are exactly the kind of “two-pizza team” that Amazon founder Jeff Bezos highlights as the most effective. Among other things, we are now running two cluster initiatives and creating a level of engagement, buzz, and content that is noticeable in Flemingsberg and is actually helping to change the area.
