The life science sector has been the region’s growth motor, even through the darkest years of the economic crisis. But now is no time to rest on laurels. The sector is facing new research breakthroughs in everything from personalised medicine to biopharmaceuticals and gene therapy. The dividing lines to other sectors are being dissolved with new digital solutions and arti- ficial intelligence that in part facilitate diagnostics and in part give patients increased control over their care. One of the most important foundations for the creation of a competitive life science cluster is the access to – and the emergence of – internationally leading university environments and research institutions. For this reason, we have commissioned a unique comparison of Europe’s ten most influential life science clusters, based on scientific publication volume in the life sciences, from the Dutch research institute CWTS at Leiden University. We’re happy to report that the percentual increase in scientific publications in the life sciences is greater in Medicon Valley than in any other cluster in Europe’s other Top Ten. Calculated according to the number of publications, the region’s placement is firmly in the middle of the list, at the top of which is the life science cluster in Lon- STATE OF MEDICON VALLEY 2018 don-Cambridge-Oxford.

  • Science Parks in Medicon Valley 2018
    SCIENCE PARKS IN MEDICON VALLEY 2018 An Analysis of Life Science- oriented Science Parks in Greater Copenhagen PREFACE University research in the Danish-Swedish Greater Copenhagen region needs to generate more new companies, and large-scale companies need a hand breathing new life into their innovation endeavours. Those are two of the goals behind recent years’ investments in the region’s science parks, incubators and accelerators. In many cases, the new investments target the life sciences and the region’s cluster, Medicon Valley. The new flagship is called the BioInnovation Institute, BII, and it started up earlier this year at COBIS in central Copen- hagen. BII has a budget of 392 million DKK, dispersed over three years, and is funded by the Novo Nordisk Foundation. The initiative has its origins in a sombre verdict: too few new companies have emerged from the life science research being done at the universities. Continued investments in the region’s science parks are crucial if Medicon Valley is to hold its own against life science clusters all over the globe. The most successful clusters are the ones that attract the best researchers and the most important investors. Medicon Valley Alliance’s new analysis focuses on the powerful developments in the regi- on’s science parks. This report profiles five science parks in Medicon Valley that are either fully or significantly focused on the life sciences: COBIS, DTU Science Park, Ideon, Medeon and Medicon Village. The overview also includes the start-up ecosystem Symbion in Copen- hagen and the food- and health-oriented science park Krinova in Kristianstad.
