The Swedish-American Life Science Summit 2015

The Swedish-American Life Science Summit 2015 is the eleventh in a series of summits, in an invitation-only format where we present a program featuring some of the best known Life Science executives and investors in the world. The intense and exclusive two-day program includes high-level panel discussions, insights from keynote speakers as well as a few selected presentations by successful and promising Swedish companies. It is our hope and ambition that the summit will serve to increase the amount of cross-border business between the largest market in the world, the United States, and one of the most important Life Science industry centers in Europe, Sweden. In addition, over the last couple of years the summit has taken on an increasingly global nature, making the summit a true reflection of the Life Science industry today.

The people behind the Swedish-American Life Science Summit combine a long experience in the US pharmaceutical industry and Wall Street with today’s financial services within the field of Life Science in both countries.
