\u201cThe goal is for an organization with at least 500 employees to set up operations here. We already have the infrastructure needed to make us attractive to larger companies,” says Peter Juneblad, Business Director at Ume\u00e5 Municipality.<\/p>\n

Ume\u00e5 municipality’s Business Development Office has been specifically tasked with expanding the region\u2019s life science industry, with a goal of increasing the number of people employed in the life science sector from 1,200 to 2,000 by 2030. One of the keys to achieving this growth is to attract more major life science companies to Ume\u00e5, such as diabetes vaccine manufacturer Diamyd Medical, which chose to locate its new manufacturing facility in Ume\u00e5<\/a> back in 2020.<\/p>\n

Ume\u00e5 Life Science City<\/h2>\n

The municipality is currently working on a strategy called \u2018Ume\u00e5 Life Science City\u2019, aiming to increase opportunities for more and larger external companies to establish in the city.<\/p>\n

\u201cUme\u00e5 has enormous potential with an infrastructure that stands out in Sweden. We can offer land, electrical power, and clean water. In addition, Ume\u00e5 is an excellent logistics and transport hub via road, rail, boat, and air, both north to south and east to west,” says Juneblad. \u201cThe university is a knowledge and competence bank for companies. We have an outstanding research infrastructure with several national research centers. In addition, we have both small and large companies here in Ume\u00e5, a dynamic collaborative climate, world-class incubators, and a university hospital with a track record of excellence in clinical research, which is important for many life science companies.”<\/p>\n

Business Sweden will play a key role in the work ahead<\/h2>\n

Business Sweden, which assists Swedish companies to grow globally and assists global companies to establish themselves in Sweden, will play a key role in the work ahead.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a great dialogue with Business Sweden, both regionally and nationally. They have a wide network of international contacts. Their cutting-edge life science knowledge, combined with their holistic view of Sweden, makes them an excellent resource for us in our work,” says Juneblad. \u201cWe are looking for both production facilities and research-related companies. The goal is for a facility with 500 new jobs to establish itself right here in Ume\u00e5 \u2013 but companies of all sizes are naturally more than welcome. It is important for the region\u2019s ecosystem that there\u2019s a mix of small and large businesses, and that growth is both organic and stimulated by new businesses moving to the area.”<\/p>\n
