A GLOBAL LIFE SCIENCE EVENT
Bridging the Gap was the first life science event organized together by the Swedish American Chamber of Commerce in San Diego, San Francisco/Silicon Valley and New England - the top three life science clusters in the U.S. Since Life Science Bridge's mission is to promote trade between our clusters and Sweden, we announced our first two-day event together Bridging the Gap - with the purpose to inspire, educate and connect people in the life science scene.
With Sweden and the U.S. being at the top of the life science industry, we aimed to build bridges between these nations to promote a healthy and innovative world. Bridging the Gap was held 7-8th of April on Zoom, and day 1 included 11 speakers covering three themes; The life science ecosystem in the U.S., Swedish Life Science and Expanding to the U.S. Speakers attended from the U.S. and Sweden. The 2021 program can be found here and the recording of day 1 here. A virtual trade delegation was held during day 2, where participants had the opportunity to network across borders with life sciences professionals.
