With less than 2 months to go and delegate numbers on par with previous years’ numbers, Nordic Life Science Days welcome members of the global life science community to Stockholm, Sweden on September 10-12. During the 2,5 days event, companies, service providers, investors, research communities, and government and regulatory bodies are provided the usual mix of partnering, a cutting-edge conference program and plenty of opportunities for networking. The Super Sessions in particular spark lively debate and this year’s topics look sure to continue the tradition.
Nine Super Sessions tackle the big questions
One of the super sessions focuses on the role of Digital Health in pharma and biotech, while another session takes a deep look into how Artificial Intelligence can be applied to boost progress in biobank and health data-driven discovery of drug targets and biomarkers, real world evidence-based research and personalized healthcare. This year’s session on Immuno-Oncology , will discuss how e.g. big data, personalized medicine, beyond the pill approaches and new targets can contribute to shape the next wave of innovation. In the session on Precision Medicine, the need for radical and transformative changes for drug manufacturers, healthcare providers and payers will be debated.
The remaining super sessions cover new methods of Drug Delivery , the practical impact of Patient Engagement as a business development tool, Reproductive Medicine and business opportunities, and two sessions looking at the financing of life science projects. In the International Investors Pitching session, experienced investors will tell the audience what they would like to hear when approached by companies with their investment pitches. In the other session, Life Science Financing – from seed to market, we will hear presentations of the financial journey of a few success cases and an experienced panel of investors, from Business Angels to Venture Capital firms, will comment on different ways to finance companies.
Last but not least, in addition to the 9 super sessions, a special session on nano technology, 4 workshops and over 60 company presentations will be organized. One workshop will put special emphasis on the virtual business model and the role of service providers, acting not only as an extra pair of hands but as a trusted partner. It is a model much used by the SMEs in the Nordics and has shown to be very effective.

The Nordics – a biotech stronghold in Europe
NLSDays takes place during a thriving period for the Nordic region. In a recent report by SwedenBIO mapping the Swedish precision medicine landscape, no less than 76 companies collectively running 200 development projects were identified. Many of these companies will attend NLSDays and we hope that foreign companies and investors will take the opportunity to meet them at the conference.
