Cluster Engine Flemingsberg – ERDF Project for growth in Life Science
Cluster Engine Flemingsberg – ERDF Project for growth in Life Science
Flemingsberg is taking a major step toward establishing itself as a key player in Life Science with the launch of the project “Cluster Engine Life Science Flemingsberg.” The project has been granted funding from the European Regional Development Fund and aims to boost the growth and establishment of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) within the life science sector in the Stockholm region. The total project budget is €10.8 million for the years 2025–2027.
The Stockholm region has significant potential in life science, largely thanks to strong connections between business and academia. The region acts as an essential driver of innovation and growth in Sweden’s life science sector, where SMEs play a central role. To further strengthen this position, the project aims to support the growth and establishment of SMEs in the Stockholm region’s life science sector. By creating attractive networks, improving access to research infrastructure, and promoting sustainable collaboration, the project will contribute to the long-term development of the industry.
Growth and Innovation
Running from February 2025 to 2027, the project aims to enhance growth and innovation within the Stockholm region’s life science sector. The initiatives include creating networking groups, organizing seminars and events, matching companies’ needs for research infrastructure with facilities in Flemingsberg, and collaborating with municipalities and regions on strategies that facilitate SMEs and new business establishments. Additionally, the project will establish platforms for collaboration between companies within the sustainability domain, including circularity and shared resource utilization.
Leadership and Partners
The initiative is led by the Flemingsberg Science Foundation in collaboration with co-funders Huddinge Municipality, Botkyrka Municipality, Region Stockholm, and Hemsö, along with close partners Karolinska Institutet and Region Stockholm’s Life Science Office. With a shared vision and coordinated efforts, the project aims to make Flemingsberg one of Europe’s most attractive destinations for Life Science.
In summary, the project connects the strong resources within the Stockholm region’s life science sector with concrete actions to strengthen innovation and growth. Through the planned initiatives, the project lays the foundation for Flemingsberg to become a leading international cluster. This means new opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises, strengthening the region’s competitiveness, and helping position Sweden as a global player in life science. The result will be a sustainable and innovative environment that creates long-term benefits for businesses, research, and society.
