PROJECTS AND COLLABORATIONS ACROSS THE BORDER

Cross-border collaborations between hospitals, universities and industry are key to creating a strong innovation community, ensuring a more efficient use of our common resources, and strengthening Medicon Valley’s competitiveness. We can work together across borders and disciplines to create better conditions for life science research and innovation based on the area’s strongholds.

MVA has a strong track record when it comes to project development (including helping secure public and/or private funding) and project management of such cross-border collaborations. MVA facilitates and actively participates in various project constellations, initiatives and working groups that strengthen Swedish and Danish life science, and which often are supported by regional funding such as from EU Interreg ÖKS, Region Skåne, and Region Hovedstaden.

CURRENT PROJECTS

As of Q1 2024, MVA is a facilitating or leading project management partner in these projects:

  • The DiaUnion partnership around screening for type 1 diabetes
  • The HALRIC consortium for utilizing highly-specialized life science research infrastructures
  • The ReproUnion consortium for research and innovation around infertility

Use the menu “Projects” at the top of the page for details about these projects led or facilitated by MVA. There you can also find notable previous collaborations, such as the Microbiome Signature Project for building the region’s unique microbiome position, and the CINDIS partnership around non-invasive diagnosis of skin cancers.

MVA is in addition involved as a project partner in these collaborations:

  • Dent2Health bridging oral and systemic health (website)
  • Life Science Academy for Startups (LinkedIn / website)
  • Medicon Valley Going Global

That means we currently are collaborating with partners from all sectors, including organizations such as Danmarks Tekniske Universitet, Erhvervshus Sjælland, Ferring Pharmaceuticals, Högskolan i Halmstad, Københavns Universitet, Lunds Universitet, Malmö Universitet, Medeon Science Park, Medicon Village, Region Hovedstaden’s hospitals, Region Skåne’s hospitals, SmiLe Incubator, and others.

Furthermore, MVA also supports other initiatives or activities that strengthen Medicon Valley’s life science ecosystem – such as student network Synapse, fellowship programs BRIDGE and CanFaster, industrial mentorship MentLife, and open innovation program ODIN.

COLLABORATE WITH US

In cross-border collaborations, MVA can contribute with e.g.:

  • project management (incl. project finance, project communications)
  • network among our 300+ member organizations (companies, universities, hospitals, regions)
  • communication and outreach in the joint life science sector and its stakeholders
  • expert knowledge and competences on life science ecosystems

For any questions or ideas about mutually beneficial cross-border collaborations in Medicon Valley, feel free to reach out!
