SALSS is back in Stockholm this spring to celebrate 20 years of successful networking and hot topics.

Special focus: Geroscience

In Sweden, where the population is growing much older in the past decades, intense science of age-related disease has given results – and both US and now Sweden health longevity research is attracting major investments.

Interview: Barbro Ehnbom

Business woman Barbro Ehnbom has become renowned for her valuable networks and her successful business-generating activities and within life sciences she is perhaps best known as the founder of SALSS, the Swedish-American Life Science Summit.

“When I started in the US pharmaceutical industry years ago, I often experienced it as rather callous and driven by profit chasing and growth, although I loved the people from the beginning. R&D spending at that time lingered perhaps around 2-3%. Then we heard about this crazy Swedish company called Pharmacia, which spent like 3 times as much. “Go see if we can buy it” said my president. I went to Sweden and talked to them, we did not buy them, but I kept in touch with the company, and I think from there on my respect and loyalty bridged the Atlantic,” writes Barbro Ehnbom on salss.com.

“The last 20 years has also changed my experience of the industry, not only have I had the fortune to meet so many brilliant and goodhearted people who truly want to improve people’s lives. With the expansion of Life Science into a worldwide segmented industry, and particularly following the financial crisis 2008, our own summit became more International with attendees from India, China, Singapore, Brazil etc, while all-along retaining a close-knit spirit based on knowledge and respect. The concept ‘SALSS Family’ has been born out of this feeling and makes me happy and proud!”
