Park Annual by Sahlgrenska Science Park 2021

A virtual life science event with thought-provoking presentations, unexpected angles, future trends and pioneering ideas.

The Nordic region is scoring high on international innovation rankings year after year. But is there a Nordic way of creating innovation? And what is required to take ideas from the Eureka moment all the way to truly value-adding solutions with paying customers?

At Park Annual 2021 Sahgrenska Science Park will explore the innovation journey from realisation to business. Scientists, startups, industry leaders and innovation experts will shed light on the holy grail of successful health innovation.

Programme sessions with presentations, panel discussions and deep dives:

• The Nordic way: Myths, facts and culture
• The necessary prerequisites: How data increase the human perspective
• The investor perspective: Strongholds, qualities and future for Nordic Life Science
• Joining forces: The art of cluster collaboration

Broadcast live from a studio at GoCo Health Innovation City, the Park Annual interactive platform allows chat, one-to-one meetings and an inspiring exhibition. The Arvid Carlsson Award by Sahlgrenska Science Park will be awarded to an entrepreneur who drives development forward for human health and wellbeing. This is the 5th consecutive year we award a prize in the name of the Nobel Prize laureate Arvid Carlsson, a true entrepreneur, active in Sahlgrenska Science Park’s community for many years.

Attendance on the 7 October is highly recommended for a full experience but most of the sessions will be available on demand afterwards. However, you need to register in both cases.
