The whole has become our niche
As the only player, we bring together the whole of Swedish life science, from small one-man companies to large international companies, always with the entrepreneur at the center and with a focus on companies operating in Sweden with research, development and/or production.
What we push for politicians and other decision-makers to change, we also actively work on ourselves, through our own efforts. Therefore, the focus issues that we drive are reflected in our operational work. Members are at the heart of not only shaping the policy agenda but also delivering it. Thanks to our working groups and focus groups with experts from member companies, we reach deep and wide in our advocacy work.
The model that SwedenBIO uses in its advocacy work captures the needs of its members and translates them into action.
Our focus questions
Research and development/ Clinical trials
Sweden’s ability to be a leading research nation in life science is closely linked to the conditions for life science companies to conduct research and development (R&D).
Skills supply
Good access to quality skills is crucial. SwedenBIO is working to find smarter ways to use our collective competence resource, so that it can benefit a larger part of the industry.
Intelligent capital
SwedenBIO has the entrepreneur at its heart. And for our industry’s entrepreneurs, access to capital is always key. We work to ensure good access to serious, skilled international capital.
Country of production Sweden
Sweden is a strong life science production country with many comparative advantages. We want Sweden to be the first choice for international establishments and for life science companies to be able to develop and expand their operations here.
International brightness and attractiveness
In global competition, Sweden needs to offer attractive conditions for life science companies to grow and develop here, as well as for international companies to decide to locate operations in our country.
Our representation in national and international bodies
SwedenBIO is a member of several different national and international bodies where we actively raise and influence issues affecting the life science industry.
