The building is the largest investment in laboratory capacity in Skåne for many years.

“The new laboratory building enhances the image of Lund as a research and university city, and helps to position Medicon Village as the natural node for life science in southern Sweden. The investment is also significant from an Öresund perspective as we see great potential in attracting more Danish companies to Skåne. A stronger exchange of research across the strait is important for the region’s competitiveness,” says Petter Hartman, CEO, Medicon Village Innovation AB.

Some of the main reasons behind the decision to build a new laboratory building included strengthening the infrastructure in southern Swedish life science, creating laboratory space for growing biotechnology companies, and increasing laboratory capacity for the research village’s more than 2,800 employees in more than 180 companies and organizations.
