Innovation Station is the new co-working space in Flemingsberg that invites you to more creative meetings. “We saw a growing need for a meeting place for more than just life science activities. So, together with Flemingsberg Science and others, we have opened a broader co-working space that caters to cultural activities and creative industries,” says Johan Bornebusch, Innovation Manager and tutor at Södertörn University.
Have you considered what support and opportunities are available to you as a company or entrepreneur working in life sciences? Although there are many opportunities, they can be difficult to find. No longer. There is now a visualisation tool of the life science ecosystem in southern Stockholm.
The Stockholm Life Tech project achieved its goal in the spring with a guide that makes it easier for more small and medium-sized companies to collaborate with the region’s research infrastructures. The guide has been billed as an important tool for strengthening life science entrepreneurship in the region.
Sinfonia Biotherapeutics uses the body's reparative proteins to develop effective treatments for nerve damage and chronic pain. The therapies are developed for the treatment of diseases such as sciatica, diabetic pain, Parkinson's disease, epilepsy and hearing loss.
During the spring, Flemingsberg Science approached Swedish Incubators and Science Parks (SISP) for help to further improve its development of Flemingsberg. SISP’s special peer review method shares knowledge and experiences between similar initiatives and organisations across the country.
We’ve hit the ground running for 2023. We continue to work on the strategic goal of making Flemingsberg the obvious choice for start-ups to locate in southern Stockholm with an internationally competitive innovation environment that offers testbeds for urban societal challenges.
Innovation hubs such as Flemingsberg Science make it easier to attract the knowledge and competences needed for the development of the sustainable city of the future. “The ability of hubs to rapidly identify needs and trends is crucial for the development of the Stockholm region. Flemingsberg Science strengthens the local ecosystem and contributes to businesses being able to conduct research, and develop and grow in the region, especially in life sciences,” says Anton Västberg, Development Director, Region Stockholm.

Stockholm is growing and we want a smart city with knowledge-intensive industry that is sustainable. In a panel discussion during Science Week on February 1, we discuss how innovative neutral arenas are central to the development of the smart and knowledge-intensive city.
