Our vision is that Göteborg-Oslo will become a leading biomedical region in Europe.

MedCoast Scandinavia works as a catalyst to facilitate collaboration between scientists, companies and the public and health care sector, as well as enhance entrepreneurship and innovations. We also work to attract venture capital in the biomedical sector and foreign investments.

Today MedCoast Scandinavia is an independent member organization with strong regional and political support. MedCoast Scandinavia works closely together with GöteborgBIO and OsloBIO, which are the two local biomedical competence networks in Göteborg and Oslo. Together we form a successful region!

MedCoast Scandinavia is supported by the city of Oslo, Akershus County Council, Østfold County Council, Region Västra Götaland and Business Region Göteborg AB.

Goals

We will achieve this by:

• Strengthen the biomedical research
• Enhance entrepreneurship and innovations
• Create good managers for life science
• Get the companies and the universities to cooperate even more
• Facilitate venture capital funding in the region
• Strengthen the region internationally
• Influence central and local governments to support MedCoast goals and vision to create a respected biomedical region in Europe
