Be part of a world-class life science village Medicon Village is a roaring success and now its residents are sending a special invitation to Danish companies to come and join the party. At Scheelevägen 2 in beautiful Lund, you will find a very special community. In just three years, it has gained more than 1,000 residents, who all share one dream – or rather two. They want to contribute to the health and well-being of humankind. And they want to do so in a community where everyone works together to transform bright ideas into business. The goal is to shorten the process from concept to finished product with the help of the entire community. “Medicon Village isn’t just another science park. It’s a place and a group of people who work together to create a unique environment for players within Life Science,” says Kerstin Jakobsson, Executive Vice President of Medicon Village. Half a

decade ago, when a charitable foundation took over the site from Astra Zeneca, it was with ambitious plans to create an environment where research, innovation and entrepreneurship could work hand in hand for the benefit of the health and well-being of ordinary people. There would be a special focus on cancer, diabetes nanomedicine and eHealth, and building strong relations to stakeholders of all types was of particular importance.
Three years later, the venture shows every sign of success. More than 100 companies and organisations have moved into the science park and the 1,000+ men and women who work in the village on a daily basis include researchers, entrepreneurs, service providers and employees in established companies. The companies located in the village represent the entire health chain, from prevention and diagnostics to care and treatment. And the portfolio of promising projects and valuable partnerships is impressive. “The environment we have created has already proved it works. Our members have experienced a radical improvement in their visibility and opportunities for collaboration,” explains Kerstin Jakobsson. Today, most of the residents are Swedish. However, Kerstin Jakobsson hopes that more Danish companies will discover the unique opportunities that await them if they venture to cross the Sound. “Fantastic location and facilities, excellent opportunities for local and international collaboration and increased visibility with all the advantages that come with it. This is what we can offer. Plus neighbours who share the same passion and professional interests and challenges as many other companies in Life Science,” concludes Kerstin Jakobsson.
