Swedish big pharma companies, Sweden continues to punch above its weight in drug development and across a broad range of life science disciplines. Often described as \u201cSweden Incorporated,\u201d the country\u2019s nearly four thousand life science companies together form a highly resilient and innovation-driven industry. Over time, the sector has demonstrated sustained growth in terms of company numbers, employment, exports, and international engagement, underpinned by strong research infrastructure, public\u2013private collaboration, and a highly skilled workforce. However, continued success is not guaranteed. Global competition for capital, talent, and R&amp;D investments is intensifying, and Sweden\u2019s future trajectory will depend on its ability to maintain attractive framework conditions for innovation and scaling, as well as strengthen its position in the EU policy arena. This keynote explores the current position of the Swedish life science industry, highlights key growth drivers and structural strengths, and outlines the conditions required to unlock its full long-term potential.<\/p><p><em><strong>Jessica Martinsson<\/strong> is the Chief Executive Officer of SwedenBIO, the national industry association for Sweden\u2019s life science sector.

policies, and changing capital flows. The United States is reassessing its stance on research funding, tariffs, and drug pricing, while China continues to accelerate its investment and capabilities across R&amp;D and biomanufacturing. At the same time, macroeconomic uncertainty, regulatory divergence, and heightened geopolitical risk are reshaping how capital is allocated globally within life science. This presentation provides a high-level overview of these global dynamics and explores their implications for Nordic and European life science companies. It will highlight emerging risks and opportunities, examine impacts on market access and financing, and conclude with strategic considerations for Nordic decision-makers navigating an increasingly complex global environment.<\/p><p><em><strong>Pieter van der Meijden<\/strong> is Managing Director, Healthcare Investment Banking at <strong>DNB Carnegie Back Bay<\/strong>, based in Stockholm, Sweden.

Temperature fluctuations, manual handling, ice formation, misplaced vials, limited traceability, unauthorized access, and system failures can compromise valuable collections and research outcomes.<\/p><p>Cryonoster technology, developed by HCP Life Science Innovation, addresses these risks through automated cryogenic storage and handling at storage temperature. Samples remain within controlled conditions during retrieval and processing, minimizing thermal exposure and ice contamination. Integrated digital tracking enables full traceability of each vial, while controlled access systems enhance security and compliance.<\/p><p>The system architecture is based on independently operating modules with built-in redundancy, reducing single points of failure and allowing incremental capacity expansion without interrupting ongoing operations.<\/p><p>This presentation will outline the technical principles of the platform and demonstrate how automated cryogenic handling, modular system design, and continuous monitoring improve sample safety, operational reliability, and scalability in research and biobanking environments.<\/p><p><strong><em>G<\/em><\/strong><strong><em>esine Paul-Visse<\/em><\/strong><em> is a Consultant Neurologist and Professor at Lund University and Sk\u00e5ne University Hospital, Sweden. <\/em><em>She leads the Translational Neurology research group at Lund University, focusing on disease mechanisms and biomarker discovery in neurodegenerative disorders, with particular emphasis on blood\u2013brain barrier pathology.

Biotech investors constantly assess these questions to identify promising opportunities.<\/p><p>The Nordic life science ecosystem is a hub for cutting-edge research and innovation, supported by strong public funding, an early IPO culture, and active local investors. But does this model create challenges in attracting late-stage international investors, compared to other European markets where private capital enters earlier?<\/p><p>With Nordic life science companies raising nearly $2 billion in 2023, investor confidence remains strong. However, securing later-stage funding and global partnerships continues to be a hurdle.<\/p><p>As Denmark and Sweden drive biotech and medtech growth in the region, how can Nordic companies capitalize on their strengths while closing funding gaps?

However, successfully expanding beyond the Nordic region\u2014particularly into the U.S. and other international markets\u2014requires a well-defined strategy. We will explore key considerations for Nordic biotech and medtech companies looking to scale globally, including navigating U.S. regulatory and market access challenges, structuring successful pharma partnerships, and attracting international investors. We will discuss what global investors seek in Nordic life science companies, how to position for competitive licensing and M&amp;A deals, and strategies to secure funding for international growth. With insights from investment banking and dealmaking, this session will provide actionable guidance for companies aiming to transition from strong local players to global leaders.<\/p><p><em>Pieter van der Meijden is Managing Director Healthcare Investment Banking at DNB, soon to be DNB Carnegie, based in Stockholm, Sweden.
