One ecosystem supporting the full life science journey
At Karolinska Institutet Innovation, we bring together the capabilities needed to turn scientific discoveries into real-world impact — from the earliest idea to a growing company.
We support researchers and innovators at the very beginning, helping to explore, validate and shape ideas into viable opportunities. Whether you are a Karolinska Institutet-affiliated researcher or coming from outside KI, you can engage with us to take your first steps towards building a company.
For teams ready to move further, our incubator provides the structure, expertise and environment required to build strong, investable ventures. We work closely with founders to develop strategy, strengthen teams and prepare companies for the demands of the life science market.
Beyond individual ventures, we offer a dynamic and collaborative community through our Science Park — where startups, industry and academia connect. It is a space designed to foster exchange, partnerships and new opportunities across the life science ecosystem.
Access to capital is a critical part of the journey
Through our venture activities, we can invest in selected companies and support their development over time. In parallel, we connect ventures with a broad network of investors and funding partners, helping them raise the capital needed to grow.
Together, this creates an integrated system — where people, science and capital come together to build the next generation of life science companies.
