  • State of Medicon Valley 2016
    STATE OF MEDICON VALLEY 2016 An Analysis of Life Science in Greater Copenhagen PREFACE Life science in Denmark and Sweden has developed in different directions over the past decade. Danish life science exports doubled in seven years, and last year they were nearly 50% greater than Swedish. The number of employees has risen, and thanks to a well-developed system with industrial foundations, the large companies’ headquarters and major shareholders are still in Denmark. At the same time in Sweden, more large companies are now foreign-owned, the largest headquarters have left the country and more important operations have either shrunken in scale or closed down, and the number of employees in the sector has diminished. But there are signs of a change for the better in the university city Lund as well as in Södertälje, Stockholm and Uppsala, visible with for example new biotechnology companies, new research facilities and new investments in the R&D of biological medicines. It is part of a new phase in the life science sector’s global transition, and it is also perceptible in Denmark as the simultaneous reports of cutbacks and the hiring of new competence. Medicon Valley Alliance is also in a transitional phase, with a new strategy that focuses more on our role as a networking organisation for the life science cluster on both sides of the Öresund. Part of our upgraded ambition is to increase knowledge about the compa- nies and research in Medicon Valley. This is the first edition of our new annual analytic report State of Medicon Valley, which offers a unique presentation of life science develop- ments in our region, on a macro- as well as a micro-scale.

  • From Loneliness Among the Elderly to Urban Floods to Air Pollution – Cities Around the World Face Enormous Yet Similar Challenges
    Nordic Sustainable Cities From loneliness among the elderly to urban floods to air pollution – cities around the world face enormous yet similar challenges. The UN Agenda 2030 provides a framework for solving many of these challenges. The Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 11 specifically outlines the crucial role that cities and communities play. But as this exhibition shows, urban solutions are not restricted to Goal 11, but connected to many of the other goals. The Nordic countries are dedicated to the UN Agenda 2030 and already have solutions that can contribute to the fulfillment of the SDGs. In this exhibition you’ll find some of the solutions that Nordic architects and engineers are already working on within the fields of health, mobility, low carbon, circular economy and resilience. The Nordics are on a journey towards sustainability and we hope to inspire you to join us! The exhibition is funded by Nordic Innovation and created by the Danish Architecture Center (DK), The Nordic countries are situated Design and Architecture Norway (NO), ArkDes & Form/Design Center (SE), Iceland Design Center (IS) in Northern Europe and consist of and Archinfo (FI).

  • State of Medicon Valley 2017
    STATE OF MEDICON VALLEY 2017 An Analysis of Life Science in Greater Copenhagen PREFACE Danish-Swedish Medicon Valley continues to reinforce its position as Scandinavia’s leading life science region. The life science sector in the Greater Copenhagen region has demonstrated a strong ability to get through crises, as well as a capacity for renewal. In this year’s edition of State of Medicon Valley, we show how sector drift is also becoming discernible in the regions’ science parks, and the possibilities that materialise when biology and IT meet in new domains like e-health. The life science sector is important for the region, and for Denmark and Sweden on the whole. It generates exports, new jobs, and substantial tax revenue. MVA’s analysis shows that the tax contribution for the Danish life science sector is 15,4 billion DKK for 2015. The corresponding figure for the Swedish life science sector is 11,6 billion SEK. Despite problems with pricing pressure and increased competition in the USA, we see that Novo Nordisk is continuing to grow on its home turf as well, as are Lundbeck and Ferring. The influx of new companies at Copenhagen Bio Science Park, COBIS, is stronger than ever, and the new companies are following the new trend: they are small, virtual and technology-oriented. On the Swedish side of the Öresund Strait in Lund, Medicon Village is growing so rapidly that a new building is being constructed. Owner foundations such as Novo Nordisk Foundation, Lundbeck Foundation and LEO Foundation are demonstrating solid responsibility for the sector with large donations to life science research, as well as investments in new biotech companies.
