Welcome to the network meeting!

Gothenburg Health Innovation is a network that brings together life science stakeholders in Western Sweden, with the aim of contributing to:

    • talent attraction and skills development
    • business establishment and investment
    • joint action where we share common interests

Our ambition is to:

  • serve as a forum that catalyses collaboration in line with our shared goals
  • increase awareness and visibility of activities within the life science sector in Western Sweden

GHI is governed by a steering group and coordinated by Sahlgrenska Science Park (SSP), which also chairs the group.

Please feel free to invite others who may be interested in joining the network. 

We look forward to seeing you!
