09:20 Unleashing The Global Potential Of The Nordic Life Science Markets Through Strategic Internationalization 

The Nordic region has long been recognized as a global leader in innovation, sustainability, and quality of life, and has also emerged as a hotbed for life science innovation and entrepreneurship with an increasing number of startups. The Nordic region shares a highly interconnected business environment that facilitates cross-border collaboration and knowledge exchange, creating a unique ecosystem that fosters innovation and entrepreneurship, attracting investors and partners from around the world. Despite these advantages, however, the Nordic life science markets face a number of challenges in their efforts to grow and internationalize. This keynote discussion will explore the current state of the Nordic life science markets, including their strengths and weaknesses, and discuss strategies for growing and globalizing the industry in the years ahead.

  • What are the current challenges facing the Nordic life science markets, and how can we address them?
  • What are the unique strengths of the Nordic life science industry that can be leveraged for international expansion?
  • What strategies can Nordic life science companies adopt to successfully enter and compete in international markets?
  • How can Nordic countries collaborate to build a stronger and more competitive life science ecosystem?
  • What role can government policies and initiatives play in supporting the growth and internationalisation of the Nordic life science markets?

10:10 How Can Nordic Life Sciences Continue To Be A Global Leader? 

AstraZeneca has a bold aspiration to launch 15 new medicines over the coming years and become carbon-neutral. As a Swedish-British company with more than 84.000 employees globally, the company plays a leading role in the Nordics as well as global life sciences. With increased globalization and competition, what is needed if the Nordics should continue to be a leader within life sciences?
