It’s finally time for the annual competition Flemingsberg Science Award IDEA. The goal is to attract innovators from Flemingsberg, helping them take the step towards realizing their visions while also participating in shaping the businesses of the future. Do you have an idea that can contribute to a better world? Then you should take part in the Flemingsberg Science Award competition.

Together with Venture Cup, one of Sweden's leading platforms for startups and business ideas, Flemingsberg Science Foundation welcomes you to a workshop that will help you create a compelling and engaging pitch to take your startup or idea to the next level. During this highly interactive session Malcolm Larri, coach and pitch expert, will teach you the fundamental building blocks of creating an effective pitch, Venture Cup style. You will also receive feedback on the pitches you create.

STARTUP is a competition for startups with a clear connection to Flemingsberg, either as students, residents or otherwise active in the area. All ideas are welcome to participate in STARTUP as long as you compete with your own idea and the turnover and external equity is below SEK 1,000,000 at the time you submit to the competition. After that, we of course welcome you to continue working with the business idea, sales and any investments.

Stockholm is growing and we want a smart city with knowledge-intensive industry that is sustainable. In a panel discussion during Science Week on February 1, we discuss how innovative neutral arenas are central to the development of the smart and knowledge-intensive city.

Winner of the Flemingsberg Science Award IDEA this year was Hejfin. The innovation is an app for women and non-binary people to help them manage their personal finances.
