Region Uppsala
Region Uppsala strengthens Europe’s life science landscape through advanced healthcare, collaborative innovation and long-term investment in research, business and sustainable growth.
Region Uppsala is a central driver behind Capital of Life – one of the fastest growing life science clusters in Europe, uniting advanced healthcare, world-leading research and a business climate that fosters long-term business stability. Our regional development remit has seen us build up a robust innovation and business support system that supports companies on every step of their journey from idea to market. This places investors on a firmer footing, while reducing the risks for fledgling and growing companies.
Life science is also one of our strategically designated areas of strength. Together with academia, hospitals and business, we drive start-ups and initiatives in biopharmaceuticals, advanced production, medical 3D printing and skills provision, for example; investments that create tangible opportunities and make the region competitive on the global stage.
We are transparent, inclusive and collaborative, working closely with all actors in the ecosystem. For us, innovation is not only about technology, but also about creating sustainable value for people, businesses and society.
