A sustainable and circular ownership

When entrepreneur Mats Paulsson founded Medicon Village in 2012, it was with the for the purpose formed non-profit foundation “Mats Paulsson’s foundation for research, innovation and societal development” as owner. The idea behind both the Mats Paulsson Foundations and Medicon Village is to contribute to new projects focusing on important research and innovation that benefit people’s opportunities for a better life. The sustainable ownership model is that return on capital together with surpluses from the activities within Medicon Village go back to research.

In 2022, this foundation donated SEK 15.6 million to purposes that promote research in medicine and other life sciences with the goal of benefiting health care, development, innovation and community building in Skåne county. The eight donation recipients work at Malmö University, Lund University and Lund University of Technology. Since 2005, this and two other foundations created by Mats Paulsson have donated a total of SEK 166 million to research.

Mats Paulsson’s foundations accepts large or small donations from private individuals, companies and organisations. Contact karin.peterson@matspaulssonstiftelserna.com for more information.
