Welcome to the 11th edition of The Future of Swedish & Danish Life Science
– Opportunities in innovation, funding and growth
The annual international partnering-event The Future of Swedish & Danish Life Science started in 2012 and includes a combination of presentations, access to partnering meetings (pre-bookable one-on-one meetings) as well as informal networking. These four core elements of the day run in parallel and ensure that the event is a lively, energetic day designed to impart new knowledge and build new networks.
The purpose of the event is to find out what Swedish and Danish Life Science can learn from each other and to create new important collaborations.
The event attracts 400-500 leading decision makers every year from all over the world. The participants come from the pharma, biotech and medtech sectors, from the academic research and the healtchcare sector as well as from policy makers, regulatory authorities and the financial services sector.
Date: September 7th 2022
Venue: Medicon Village, Lund, Sweden
The event is free of charge for all delegates
- How has Danish and Swedish life science evolved over the past ten years?
- What lies ahead, and how can the life science sector in both countries be
competitive in the coming decade? - What framework conditions, skills and competencies, and type of partnerships
would we need in order to succeed?
Those are some of the questions we will cover during the 11th edition of The Future of Swedish & Danish Life Science.
