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.
Flemingsberg is currently undergoing a phase of rapid development, where new rental housing and apartments are helping to strengthen the area’s attractiveness as a residential, education and research hub in southern Greater Stockholm. The expansion of housing is an important part of the long-term development of Campus Flemingsberg and the surrounding area.
At a time marked by growing insecurity and increasingly complex crime, the need for long-term solutions is becoming more urgent. As the police training programme at Södertörn University in Flemingsberg celebrates its tenth anniversary, attention is turning to the future. Together with SMOB, the university works with education, research and collaboration to prevent crime and build a safer society.
Jacques Diringer left a secure job at the game giant King to follow his dream of creating his own game from scratch. In a Stockholm where the gaming industry is growing rapidly and new companies are launched every year, he now embarks on a more uncertain but creative journey. The path has been both challenging and inspiring, shaped by a vibrant gaming community, new collaborations, and the courage to trade stability for freedom.
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.
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.
At The Park Novum, you’re met with spacious offices, creative spaces, and a sweeping view over a growing Flemingsberg. Here, entrepreneurs, innovators, and researchers can find a home that not only provides a modern workplace, but also the opportunity to grow together.
DreamHack Stockholm is not just a festival. It is one of the few occasions in Sweden where audiences, creators, and the industry move within the same space at the same time.

This year, Press Start Game Hub, the game initiative based in Flemingsberg, took part.
Leslie Alfredsson is an entrepreneur, innovation strategist, and game developer who is now set to take Press Start Game Hub to new heights. We are pleased to welcome Leslie as Head of Press Start, where she will continue to lead the gaming initiative that has, in a short time, established itself as a dynamic meeting place for students, researchers, and creators.
