The biggest life science breakthroughs have one thing in common: they don’t happen in isolation. That was the spirit of Nordic Life Science Days 2025, where HALRIC brought a simple message into the room: we are stronger together.

Nordic Life Science Days (NLSDays) is the Nordic region’s flagship life science partnering event, a place where biotech, pharma, medtech, investors, researchers, and public actors meet to turn conversations into collaborations through a strong focus on structured partnering and networking.
What HALRIC is unlocking across Northern Europe
During the session “A Match for Success – Germany!”, HALRIC partners Sarah Niemann (Life Science Nord) and Petter Hartman (Medicon Village) shared hands-on experiences from cross-border work to strengthen innovation and research collaboration in Northern Europe.
Through HALRIC, we’ve been building exactly the kind of cross-border “shortcut” that makes those collaborations easier: improving access to advanced research infrastructures (including MAX IV, ESS, DESY, and European XFEL), supporting cross-border pilot projects that connect academia, healthcare, and industry, and developing data solutions via the Hanseatic Science Cloud, all to strengthen the life science ecosystem across the ÖKS–Hamburg region.
A heartfelt thank you to Health Made in Germany and Germany Trade & Invest for hosting such an inspiring session, and to everyone in Gothenburg for the lively exchanges and new collaborations. We’re also delighted that HALRIC was represented so strongly: huge thanks to Sarah Niemann and Petter Hartman for showcasing our work during the session, and to our partner Francesco Bez and the pilot project representatives for standing with us throughout the event. With the entire life science ecosystem gathered in one place, NLSDays remains a yearly highlight for building strategic connections.
