Scaling up life science in Skåne

In order to facilitate research, innovation and business development within the field of life science, Medicon Village initiates, drives and takes part in initiatives and collaboration with partners as a prerequisite for growth and added value.

SmiLe Incubator and Medicon Village in Lund will jointly offer a program that is adapted to the specific needs of innovative scale-ups in life science. Within the framework of this project, the program will be developed, tested, and validated via a pilot before its formal launch. The aim of the program is to support participating life science scale-ups in the Skåne-Blekinge region in accelerating their growth and competitiveness through increased knowledge and competence in areas that are deemed particularly essential for companies in this phase. These areas include access to capital, internationalisation and export, organisation and leadership, and developing sustainable processes and business models. The project will also design a service package that includes marketing, office services and ideally physical spaces earmarked for innovative life science scale-ups.

The project spans from October 2022 to January 2026, and is co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund.
