Medicon Village

Today, key political leaders from 12 municipalities in the Malmö-Lund region convened to discuss the future of the life science sector and explore collaborative strategies to strengthen our position as a leading destination for talent, investment, and business development. Petter Hartman, CEO of Medicon Village Innovation, and Micael Nord, Acting CEO of Medeon, delivered a presentation on current trends, strengths, and challenges in the life science sector, which was followed by a productive discussion. With world-class university research, a highly skilled workforce, and close proximity to Copenhagen, southwestern Skåne continues to shine as a competitive player on the international stage. We at Medicon Village extend our gratitude to the organizers for the opportunity to contribute to this important conversation. #knowledgesharing #lifescience #sciencepark Micael Nord | Anders Almgren | Philip Sandberg | Lunds kommun | Malmö stad

Mats Paulsson has been named an Honorary Doctor by the Faculty of Medicine at Lund University. The title has been awarded in recognition of his longstanding commitment to medical research and his pivotal role in establishing Medicon Village in Lund, and more.   Over the years, he has founded three foundations supporting public-benefit initiatives, particularly in the fields of medical research and healthcare. One of these is the Mats Paulsson Foundation for Research, Innovation, and Societal Development, established in 2011. This foundation played a crucial role in the creation of Medicon Village, which has since become a leading and unique environment for research and business.   By reinvesting profits from Medicon Village’s operations and returns from the foundation into research, groundbreaking projects in areas such as cancer and neuroscience have been funded. Earlier this year, coinciding with Mats Paulsson's 80th birthday, it was announced that the foundation's research funding would increase from SEK 25 million to SEK 50 million in 2024. Altogether, Paulsson’s various foundations have donated nearly a quarter of a billion Swedish kronor to health-promoting research.   The conferment ceremony will take place on 23 May 2025.

As a social conclusion to our Career Day yesterday, we hosted this year’s final Science After Work at Inspira. The event featured beer tasting, an interview with Tom Harding from our Supporting Partner Potter Clarkson, and great mingling.   Link to pictures of happy minglers in a comment below.   The annual Career Day itself delivered a full house, with 180 students and researchers meeting 16 companies interested in attracting talent, matchmaking, seminars on job searching in the life science industry, insights into opportunities for entering the industry, and presentations of possible roles and specialties within the field.   The event was organized by Careers Centre at the Faculty of Medicine, Lund University, and Medicon Village.
