LUND INNOVATION DISTRICT
The city of Lund has a long history of being positive towards innovation. University and industry partnerships have led to a range of innovations being born here.
Lund has a strong base in science and innovation. It was chosen by 17 countries to be the home of the future European Spallation Source (ESS). This will revolutionise manufacturing by generating new and smarter materials.
The city is planning a new district (Lund Northeast) around ESS and the Max IV Laboratory, located close to Ideon Science Park. This district will be a test bed for sustainable living solutions and innovation. It will also be home to over 40,000 people, hopefully from all over the world.
Other planned building includes Science Village Scandinavia and a new tramway. The latter will connect the city centre, Ideon Science Park, Lund Northeast, Science Village Scandinavia, Max IV and ESS.
The city of Lund is constantly working towards its vision “creating the future – with knowledge, innovation and openness”. Ideon Science Park is proud to be part of the creation of an exciting future, both locally and internationally.
