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.

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. In 2025, DreamHack set a new attendance record with over 60,000 visitors at Stockholmsmässan in Älvsjö, with attendees coming from 70 countries. 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.

In Flemingsberg, education, art, and culture come together in a unique way. Now, the Royal Opera and Idun Lovén Art School are launching a collaboration where students will work side by side with professional set painters to create a backdrop painting that will adorn the opera’s foyer in Scenhuset in Flemingsberg.

Karin Lekberg is paving the way for the Flemingsberg of the future — a place where knowledge and creativity meet. She envisions a vibrant area full of culture, evening and nightlife, and a natural meeting place for both students and creators. But when the goal feels far away, it’s about starting where you are — creating life and activity here and now, and above all, building on the stories that already exist, allowing the place to grow into its future.

Flemingsberg is a place where research and progress never sleep. A place where someone is always working on a solution. During Nordic Life Science Days in Gothenburg, Flemingsberg stood out from afar — with an orange booth that, just like Flemingsberg itself, was full of surprises, experiences, and served as an excellent meeting spot for life science enthusiasts.
