Flemingsberg Science leads ecosystem development with Stockholm Life Tech
Within Stockholm Life Tech, we are currently working on developing the Life Science ecosystem at Campus Flemingsberg. And the first step in this process is a review of everything from academia to innovation support.
Participating organisations in Stockholm Life Tech include Stockholm Science City Foundation, Karolinska Institutet, Flemingsberg Science, Akademiska Hus, and Karolinska Institutet Science Park. The project lead is Region Stockholm. Our objective is to make laboratories and research and innovation infrastructure available to small and medium-sized businesses in and around Stockholm’s two leading life science environments: Hagastaden and Flemingsberg. Everything we do is intended to accelerate the growth of life science companies and build the attractiveness of the Stockholm region.
Developing the ecosystem
Part of realising these goals is to develop the Life Science ecosystem. Among other things, this is about bringing together actors such as businesses, researchers, institutions, business support, politics and more, to build consensus around what is needed to further develop Life Science.
This might be about various types of support that are missing, for example advice, or the need for more collaboration, or structural barriers that need to be removed. In the project, this work has been led by KI Science Park, but from June 2022 it has been headed by Flemingsbergs Science, which means we will focus on Campus Flemingsberg.
For the remaining duration of the project, we plan to carry out an analysis of the existing ecosystem in Flemingsberg, with a focus on highlighting areas such as education, research, talent, infrastructure, business clusters, innovation support, attractiveness and expansion opportunities.
We are also planning a seminar on how the future Life Science ecosystem will look. The seminar will coincide with the official opening of A Working Lab’s co-working space at Alfred Nobels allé 10.
Cluster Engine Flemingsberg – ERDF Project for Growth in Life Science
Flemingsberg is taking a significant step towards establishing itself as a central player in Life Science with the launch of the “Cluster Engine Life Science Flemingsberg” project. The project has been granted funding from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and aims to strengthen 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.
BioLamina Establishes Operations in Flemingsberg – A Key Player in ATMP Development
As the world’s first and only producer of laminins, the biotechnology company BioLamina has expanded its operations and chosen to establish part of its business in Flemingsberg. Using laminins, a protein that creates an optimal environment for cells to expand and/or differentiate, they are a key player in the development of ATMPs (Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products) in Sweden and globally.
Sally Sow and Turn UP: Winners of the Flemingsberg Science Award IDEA 2024
The music world can be a challenging place, both for organizers trying to reach their audience and for music lovers searching for events that suit their taste. Sally Sow, the winner of the Flemingsberg Science Award IDEA 2024, has developed Turn Up, a platform that simplifies organizing, discovering, and participating in local music events. With a focus on inclusion and accessibility, she aims to create a music scene where everyone feels welcome.
KTH’s Technical Preparatory Year Moves to Flemingsberg – Student Numbers Expected to Double in Autumn 2025
In the autumn of 2025, KTH will relocate its Technical Preparatory Year spots from Södertälje to Flemingsberg, resulting in a significant increase in student numbers at Campus Flemingsberg. By nearly doubling available seats and introducing a new learning center model in collaboration with 3 municipalities, KTH aims to meet the growing demand for technical education in the region.
