Life Sciences Forum 2026
14 May, 17:30 - 21:30
Life Sciences Forum 2026 brings together leading voices from Sweden and the UK to explore how policy, innovation, and investment are shaping the future of life sciences.
At this event, we will dive deep into the trends redefining the life sciences landscape – from AI-driven diagnostics, precision medicine, and digital health solutions to evolving investment strategies, pricing reforms, and regulatory change. With a particular focus on cross-border collaboration, we will spotlight how Sweden and the UK can work together to accelerate innovation, scale new technologies, and improve patient outcomes.
Through a mix of high-level keynotes, thought-provoking panel discussions, case studies, and interactive Q&A sessions, you will gain insight into:
• How policymakers and regulators are enabling – or constraining – innovation
• Where capital is flowing across the life sciences value chain
• How data, AI, and digitalisation are transforming healthcare delivery and R&D
• What successful UK–Sweden partnerships look like in practice
Beyond the stage, curated networking sessions will connect you with industry leaders, investors, policymakers, researchers, and innovators – giving space to build new relationships, compare experiences, and explore concrete collaboration opportunities along the UK–Sweden corridor.
