Sweden and its Nordic neighbors consistently rank among the most innovative countries worldwide, being leaders at the forefront of science and technology. At the same time, we fall short in implementing innovations, particularly in health care, where patients are waiting longer than other European countries to benefit from new medicines. How can we get better and faster at creating value from innovations? That was the starting point for an initiative that we kicked off this year under the umbrella of ‘Perspective Innovation’ in which we gather senior business leaders, entrepreneurs and thought leaders from Life Science and other sectors to debate and discuss possibilities and complexities of innovations, share and learn from different perspectives, ultimately with the ambition to pave ways for faster implementation of innovations that make a difference. Last week, we hosted our third network meeting over an inspiring dinner conversation in Stockholm. One of my takeaways from the discussion was that we can’t separate the implementation of an innovation from the innovation itself if we want to succeed. Instead, the implementation model should be an integral part throughout the innovation process, starting from understanding the need you are solving for, and partner with the ecosystem to co-create not only the innovation, but also how it will be delivered to the end user. A big thank you to Gordon, Max, Nicklas Tibblin, Peter Kjäll, Sara Arvidson, Anna Omstedt and Johan Waller for your openness, passion and thought-provoking contributions, and a special thanks to my co-creators and constant contributors Cecilia Ungerstedt and and Petra Eurenius; the power of networking with people with an innovative mindset and a willingness to think differently is amazing! #innovation #implementation #partnership #lifescience

Barcelona is well known for its awe-inspiring architecture and delicious food but, what makes it the perfect location for #LSIEurope23? Here are a few reasons that we selected Barcelona, and couldn’t be more excited: 1. Barcelona and the Catalonia region are thriving hubs for Medtech and healthcare innovation → There are over 1,350 innovators, investors, strategics and service providers and 91 research entities established in the region. → Many innovators in our #LSIAlumni community are building in the region, such as INBRAIN Neuroelectronics, which is driving more grassroots innovation. 2. The city provides a world-class venue at the Hotel Arts Barcelona → 44 floors, Michelin Star restaurants, beautiful event spaces for partnering... all perfect and essential for facilitating the LSI experience. → No surprise Condé Nast Traveler named it the "Best Hotel in Barcelona" and a Top 5 "Best Hotel in Spain and Portugal" in 2022. 3. Substantial growth in venture investment in the region’s Medtech and healthcare innovators, and in the presence from global strategics → In 2022, Medtech and healthcare innovators in the region raised over €445M, with Medtech specifically leading as the main subsector with €193M raised. → Strategics are investing in the region, with #LSIAlumni like Johnson & Johnson, Medtronic, Fresenius Medical Care, Abbott, GE Healthcare, Boehringer Ingelheim, Novartis, Smith & Nephew, and more all having local subsidiaries or innovation centers. 4. Strong ecosystem of LSI partners that are invested in financing and supporting innovation in the region, and in Europe more broadly → Investors like Asabys Partners, Nina Capital, Ship2B Ventures and more have established themselves in the region, creating a strong ecosystem around medtech and healthcare and innovation. → Organizations like Tech Barcelona, Barcelona Health Hub, EIT Health, European Commission and more contribute to the strength of the ecosystem. We're excited to work with them to support innovation here. 5. Barcelona creates the context, LSI creates the content and community. → This is a global event. Barcelona’s thriving ecosystem and world-class venue creates the perfect backdrop for LSI to the content and community needed to drive the Medtech industry forward. → Our deep relationships with global investors, strategics, and innovators, and expertise in content creation and curation on a global stage will enable us to bring the brightest minds and boldest ideas together in one place. We hope to see you LSI Europe ‘23 this next month in Barcelona.

The Bavarian Cluster Initiative stands at the forefront of Bavaria's efforts to drive innovation and economic growth. Established to foster collaboration and innovation across industries, this dynamic initiative plays a pivotal role in the region's economic landscape. 🚀 Established in the early 2000s by the Bavaria State Government it consists of 5 fields of competence: digitalization, life science and health, mobility, material and energy. Not only does this initiative support local companies, by focusing on enhancing collaboration and innovation between the entities to drive growth, it also serves as a valuable gateway for foreign companies seeking to expand their business in Bavaria. It offers support, connections, and resources to help these companies integrate into the Bavarian business ecosystem and leverage the region's strengths for their growth and success. 📈 Find out what the 17 cluster platforms within the 5 fields of competence are, in our Info Centre by clicking Infographics: https://lnkd.in/e-AyFVxV #successinbavaria #innovation #bavarianclusterinitiative #collaboration

Trade shows are the ideal setting for discussing important topics for business and society. Including the topic of inclusion, which our President & CEO Wolfram Diener addresses in the first episode of our new video series "Facing Tomorrow" entitled "Inclusive Innovations".   Companies are becoming increasingly aware of their social responsibility and are offering ways to participate through their products and services. Progress in this area can also be seen at our trade fairs such as REHACARE – International Trade Fair for Rehabilitation and Care and boot Düsseldorf. Here you can see first-hand how new technologies and services can make people's everyday lives easier and more inclusive.   Kieler Woche will be just as inclusive in the coming days. For example, there will be escorts for wheelchair users and the visually impaired.   All this shows: The topic of inclusion is more relevant than ever.   Watch the full episode on the Messe Düsseldorf website: https://lnkd.in/e6QpVKpP   #messedüsseldorf #bootduesseldorf #KielerWoche #Inclusion #inclusiveinnovations #facingtomorrow #GemeinsamFürInklusion

Imagine a town that was once drowning in debt and struggling to attract businesses and residents, now thriving and emerging as the strongest economy in the country. 🎯 Just a few weeks ago, I had the privilege of visiting such a town – Erlangen, Germany – and its success story left me in awe! Twenty years ago, Erlangen was in debt; people didn't want to live there, and businesses didn't find it attractive. The town's mayor recognized the abundance of university hospitals in the region and proposed a then moonshot idea to create a Health Tech ecosystem. 🚀 Fast forward to today, Erlangen boasts one of Europe's strongest Health Tech ecosystems with leaders such as Medical Valley EMN e. V., Siemens Healthineers, adidas, and more. Moreover, it leads Germany in income generation and boasts the highest standard of living. What did it take to achieve such remarkable results? ✅ A strategic goal ✅ Collaboration and co-creation among different stakeholders ✅Unwavering long-term focus A huge thanks to Kurt Höller, Dr. Sandro Francesco Tedde, and Tobias Zobel Tedde for the warm welcome; learning from your experience was truly inspiring! Do you want to be part of a similar success story? Join me, and let's build Lithuania's Health Tech ecosystem together!
