Kvällen fylldes med inspirerande samtal, en magisk ljusinstallation av Yoke och en gemensam känsla av förväntan inför framtiden med Upside Stories. Ett stort tack till alla som kom och gjorde kvällen så minnesvärd! Tack till Destination Uppsala AB och Uppsala Citysamverkan som ordnat en otrolig Ljusfestival.

Sweden is, and will continue to be, a global leader in Life Science and innovation! Yesterday we took yet another step forward on that journey. At Forskaren, Minister for Education Johan Johan Pehrson, Minister for Social Affairs Jakob Forssmed, Minister for Energy and Business, as well as Deputy Prime Minister Ebba Busch and Minister for Health Acko Ankarberg Johansson, together with the government, presented new goals for Sweden’s Life Science strategy. The strategy focuses on clinical trials, national digital infrastructure, medical technology, and precision health. It’s about strengthening our competitive edge in the Life Science sector and generating concrete benefits for patients. By investing in strategic technology and research excellence, we’re building a foundation for the healthcare of tomorrow, for future vaccines and treatments – creating better, more equitable, and sustainable healthcare for all. We are proud to be part of this journey to secure Sweden's place at the forefront of Life Science. #LifeScience #Innovation #Sweden #Forskaren #Health #innovation
