Every successful region has a place where collaboration is allowed to take root and grow. A place that protects early ideas, carries learning forward, and helps people work together across borders even when the systems around them are not built for it. In Medicon Valley, many now share a simple vision: to create a kind of greenhouse for Nordic life science cooperation.

To succeed as a life science cluster in a medium-sized region, you need to prioritize and pick your battles.

If we look at the existing life science hot spots mentioned in the Draghi report, including Medicon Valley, it is obvious that the likelihood of success will increase dramatically, if we embrace the Golden Triangle in the UK (London- Oxford-Cambridge).

The future of Europe depends on the future of European competitiveness. So far, everyone seems to agree. 

First, I would like to congratulate all the new Nobel Prize winners awarded by The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. Once again, this honorable institution highlights and rewards the scientific excellence that drives civilization forward.


Both Danes and Swedes like to emphasize, and often make fun of, the more or less significant differences between our cultures.
