Launch of the 2026 Skåne Life Science Barometer
How is the life science sector in Skåne developing in a time of global uncertainty, rapid technological change, and growing competition for capital and talent?
Join us for the launch of the 2026 Skåne Life Science Barometer, an annual report produced by Medicon Village that provides a data-driven overview of the region’s life science ecosystem. The report combines regional industry statistics with insights from company leaders to highlight key trends shaping the sector – from innovation and funding to talent and growth prospects.
During this session, we will present the main findings from the report and, through an interactive panel discussion, reflect on what they mean for the continued development of the life science ecosystem in Skåne.
Key themes we will explore:
- Innovation pipeline and manufacturing capabilities – Skåne’s life science hubs
- Commercialisation and growth – How companies are turning innovation into market opportunities
- From local to global – The role of both early-stage ventures and established companies in strengthening the regional ecosystem
- Capital and talent for growth – Financing innovation in a capital-intensive industry and competences needed to support the growth and competitiveness of life science companies
Please note that the number of seats is limited and will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
