Strong event attendee growth in 2026
We have increased the average number of attendees at our first eight “Science for Breakfast” events this year from 85 in 2025 to 100. As we have not changed the concept or communication, this likely reflects a growing interest in networking and knowledge-sharing at our life science park.
The increase continues a trend we have seen since launching our signature events in 2022 as part of our efforts to strengthen Medicon Village as a meeting point. Attendee numbers have risen steadily, and last year some events even had waiting lists.
In 2025, total attendance across our 115 signature events increased by 18% compared with 2024, with waiting lists for several of our major events. This positive trend has continued into the first two months of 2026.
Growth is encouraging, but quality matters just as much. According to our Event Host Survey (August 2025-January 2026), hosts consistently rate our events highly, reflecting strong confidence in Medicon Village as a professional event arena:
- Overall satisfaction: 4.8/5
- Audience relevance and interaction: 4.5/5
- Likelihood to recommend: 9.4/10
We look forward to continuing to improve both event quality and communication in order to remain the most attractive meeting place for life science research and business in southern Sweden and our part of Medicon Valley.
