Medicon Village – Scandinavia’s largest life science research park

Since its inauguration in 2012, Medicon Village has developed into Scandinavia’s largest life science research park. By facilitating collaboration across disciplines, organisations, and borders, it creates the conditions for medical advances that help more people live healthier and better lives.

A unique environment for collaboration

Medicon Village is built on a fundamental concept: bringing together the right mix of companies, healthcare providers, academic institutions, and support functions, representing the entire value chain. In short, it provides smaller companies with many of the advantages typically associated with larger organisations through a collaborative and integrated environment. Today, Medicon Village has grown into Scandinavia’s largest life science research park, home to approximately 180 member companies and 2,800 professionals.

Supporting innovation and growth

A key part of Medicon Village’s mission is to create the conditions for its member companies to grow and succeed. Through seminars, investor meetings, mentoring programmes, and professional networks, businesses are supported throughout different stages of their growth journey.

The incubator Smile Venture Hub further contributes to this ecosystem by providing guidance, programmes, and resources for life science entrepreneurs and early-stage companies, helping them progress from idea to growth.

An ownership model that gives back to research

Medicon Village Fastighets AB and Medicon Village Innovation AB are owned by the Mats Paulsson Foundation for Research, Innovation and Societal Development. The majority of the surplus generated by the research park’s real estate operations is returned to the foundation and distributed as grants to innovative research projects within life science.

A year of growth and new opportunities

During 2025, Medicon Village welcomed 30 new member companies and established partnerships with global industry leaders such as AstraZeneca and Roche. A new investor network was launched to strengthen companies’ access to capital and support their continued growth. At the same time, interest in the research park’s meeting places, networks, and activities reached record levels.
