KI Science Park Day 2026
Scaling Health Innovation in Europe
Europe is more than a market. It can be a launchpad.
KI Science Park Day is one of the most anticipated gatherings in our life science community – bringing together more than 250 founders, researchers, industry leaders, investors, experts and decision-makers for an afternoon of ideas, insight and meaningful connections.
This year, we turn our attention to a question that matters to every Nordic life science company with international ambitions:
How can Nordic life science and health innovation use Europe as a platform for growth and global scale?
Europe offers world-class science, capital, expertise and access to diverse markets. But succeeding here requires more than a strong innovation. It takes the right strategy, partnerships and people – and the ability to navigate a complex and rapidly changing landscape.
Through real company journeys, expert perspectives and honest conversations, we will explore what it takes to enter new markets, build strategic partnerships, attract capital and turn Europe’s diversity into a competitive advantage.
Expect new perspectives, valuable connections and conversations that continue long after the programme ends.
What to look forward to:
◆ The 2026 award lecture by the recipients of the KI Prize for Innovation and Utilisation
◆ Company stories, expert insights and candid discussions on growth and international expansion
◆ An exhibition featuring organisations and companies that support life science innovation and business development
◆ More than 250 participants from across the life science ecosystem
KI Science Park Day is where our community comes together – and where new collaborations, opportunities and ideas begin. Make sure you are part of it.
