#Focus Europe – Opportunities in healthcare and life science

A seminar on business opportunities in Europe for Swedish companies within the healthcare and life science sector.

Why Europe?

Swedish health care and life science companies are perfectly positioned to scale in Europe, one of the world’s largest and fastest‑evolving health markets. Europe’s pharmaceutical market alone was valued at USD 488 billion in 2024, and the broader life science sector contributes nearly €1.5 trillion to the EU economy, supporting 29 million jobs across the region.

Europe faces rising pressure from ageing populations, chronic diseases, and workforce shortages, creating strong demand for innovative, high‑quality solutions. With Sweden’s global reputation for safety, digital maturity, and sustainable innovation, Swedish companies can enter a market of 450 million people that actively seeks exactly what they excel at.

In today’s shifting geopolitical landscape, strengthening European collaboration is not just an advantage - it is a strategic necessity. Deeper integration with Europe ensures resilient supply chains, secure market access, and the ability to jointly drive innovation in a region committed to stability, quality, and long‑term growth.

Europe offers harmonized regulations, strong research ecosystems, and abundant partnership opportunities, making it the ideal next step for Swedish companies ready to grow, collaborate, and elevate their impact.
