MVA Annual Meeting 2018

For the last 20 years, life science in Medicon Valley has been the most innovative, fastest growing and most job creating sector in the Greater Copenhagen region and we have been growing together!

To sustain and develop the region’s momentum, we need to effectively remove barriers to the scale-up of our innovative life science companies, strengthen collaboration, and brand the region internationally. Thereby we can realize the ambition of Medicon Valley becoming the leading life science cluster of not only the Nordics, but Northern Europe.

To discuss how to get from start-up to scale-up and beyond, Medicon Valley Alliance has the pleasure of inviting a list of inspirational regional, national and international speakers to our annual meeting.

We are looking forward to seeing new and old members, partners and other Medicon Valley stakeholders for an afternoon of discussion and networking.

Date: Thursday October 11, 2018
Time: 12.00 – 18.00
Venue: Crowne Plaza, Ørestads Boulevard 114-118, 2300 Copenhagen, Denmark
