Global Business Innovation Programme
Focus on Advanced Therapies Sweden
The UK invites Swedish Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products (ATMP) organisations and businesses to participate in targeted 1:1 meetings to share knowledge, initiate new business and find collaboration partners.
Delivered by Innovate UK, the Global Business Innovation Programme consists of a 5-day tailored visit to Sweden with the opportunity to meet and collaborate with Swedish stakeholders and experts developing ATMP. It provides a unique experience for delegates to identify international partners for technology collaboration.
UK and Sweden
In 2022, the UK and Sweden signed a joint Memorandum of Understanding on health and life sciences, highlighting ATMP as a priority. This was followed by a Strategic Partnership Agreement, signed by UK and Swedish Prime Ministers in October 2023, which re-emphasised the importance of working together in science and innovation, including in this important sector. Therefore, opportunities for UK-Swedish ATMP collaboration and partnerships are significant and well supported at a strategic level.
Sweden is recognised as one of the most innovative countries in the world and a global leader in the health and life sciences sector. With ambitions to be a world leader in ATMP development by 2030, the country benefits from a thriving biotechnology network and national initiatives coordinated by ATMP Sweden.
The UK companies taking part in this programme to Sweden are leaders in innovative and sustainable biomanufacturing processes and process technologies that enable the development of ATMP and delivery systems. They are very keen to meet Swedish companies and organisations also involved in developing these solutions, with the aim of forming collaborative partnerships, potentially commercialising them together, and for possible joint funding applications.

- 24th January 2024 Gothenburg
