On June 27, a Life Science conference is arranged for EU parliamentarians during Sweden’s EU presidency.
Directly after the official conference, The Royal Academy of Engineering Sciences (IVA) and SwedenBIO invites the public to a seminar with the spotlight on how the suggested EU legislations may affect the life science industry. With examples from the Swedish life science arena, we show the importance of intellectual property and data protection in the journey from academic research to products and therapies for patients.
Afterward, a networking reception is organized by the united life science industry organisations. With drinks, snacks, and key speakers, we ensure that the end of the presidency marks the start of an even stronger united life science industry in Sweden and beyond.

Clothes made from alternative fibres produced by microorganisms can be 8x stronger than steel, 100% recyclable, biodegradable and replace fossil-fuel based or resource-intensive textiles.
The biomanufacturing of Vitamin B2 led to the reduction of 75% of fossil raw materials and 50% operating costs, compared to the chemical process. Vitamin B2 is used in the food, feed or healthcare sectors.
Enzymes and biosurfactancts are alternative ingredients that improve the performance of detergents, while leading to water and energy savings and reductions in CO2 emissions and water toxicity.
Insulin is one of the most widely known biopharmaceutical. Biotechnology revolutionised its manufacturing process and led to the development of new types of insulin through r-DNA technology.
