🚀With a remarkable 16% growth in active companies from 2018 to 2022, the Stockholm–Uppsala region continues to be a key player in the life science industry. 🌟 “The life science sector in the Stockholm–Uppsala region has seen remarkable growth, with a significant rise in active companies from 2018 to 2022, driven by a diverse array of businesses. However, despite this expansion, the dominance of micro-enterprises – comprising nearly half of the companies with turnover – raises concerns about the scale needed to sustain long term impact. As large and medium-sized companies account for just 8%, their continued influence is vital to balancing the entrepreneurial vigor with the region’s global ambitions.” – Ylva Williams, CEO of Stockholm Science City Foundation.
