Oct 14, 2024

1) How can Camida contribute to life science in the Danish-Swedish Medicon Valley region?

Camida is a customer service-driven supplier of specialised raw materials to the Life Sciences industry, globally. Our dedicated team can make a significant contribution to the life science sector in the Danish-Swedish Medicon Valley region by leveraging our expertise in the sourcing and supply of specialty raw materials. Camida’s global network ensures that we can source high-demand or hard-to-source materials from across the world, contributing to the diverse needs of the life science sector.

2) What is unique about Camida?

Camida are rather different to other suppliers within the Life Sciences industry – for example – we do not have a product list.  Our clients come to think of us not simply as suppliers, but partners, people they can trust to approach every challenge with fresh thinking and new ideas.

We streamline and uncomplicate supply chain management by providing our customers with one point of contact and then shape a team around our customer’s specific needs, made up of experts in sourcing, quality, and logistics.

3) As an Irish company, how did you come across Medicon Valley Alliance?

As part of our European development strategy, Camida is deepening our connections within the European Life Sciences community by actively participating in key trade shows, becoming members of leading industry associations, and conducting the latest market research to better serve our customers. These initiatives not only enhance our visibility but also reinforce our dedication to staying at the forefront of industry trends and regulatory developments. During this research phase we identified Medicon Valley Alliance as a strong partner for Camida.
