At Sahlgrenska Science Park, we catalyze collaboration, innovation and competitiveness. We catalyze the start and development of companies and we catalyze collaboration between industry, academia and healthcare. We do this to enable a more healthy and prosperous society.
We use our non-profit approach, coupled with broad cross-sector experience and an exceptional network to provide a welcoming community for and display window to West Swedish life science. We organize events and seminars (e.g. Park Annual), give tailored support through our skilled business advisors and sought-after CO-AX accelerator programme, offer advanced health innovation labs & offices and we lead an abundance of health innovation projects in collaboration with partners across industry, academia, healthcare and other public players.
Our speciality is the fast-growing field of healthtech where we can leverage West Sweden's world-leading mobility and ICT industry and our connection to HealthTech Nordic - one of the world's largest network of digital health start-ups.
