MVA ANNUAL MEETING 2020
November 2, 2020 @ 12:00 - 18:00
A substantial component of the success story of Medicon Valley is the global outlook of key stakeholders. Fortunately, the Danish-Swedish Medicon Valley life science cluster is international by nature. But how do we use this to our advance and what is needed if we are to use the combination of Danish and Swedish life science expertise as the stepping stone for the ambitions to position the Nordics as a global life science innovation hub?
Only a region working actively to become an attractive destination for life science companies, investments, talents and academic excellence can aspire to become a true world class life science cluster.
To discuss how to ensure the competitiveness of our region in a globalized world, Medicon Valley Alliance has the pleasure of inviting you to an afternoon with inspirational regional, national and international speakers.
Date: Monday November 2, 2020
Time: 12.00 – 18.00
