​Bridging the Gap

2023

A GLOBAL LIFE SCIENCE EVENT

Bridging the Gap is an annual life science event organized together by the Swedish American Chamber of Commerce in San Diego, San Francisco/Silicon Valley, New England and Minnesota- the top four life science clusters in the U.S. Since Life Science Bridge's mission is to promote trade between our clusters and Sweden. Bridging the Gap 2022 was a two-day event 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.  To make the event even more global, this year’s edition of Bridging the Gap will be in partnership with the Finnish American Chamber of Commerce in San Diego. 

Bridging the Gap 2023 will be a one-day webinar on April 27th, with speakers within the various areas followed by a panel discussion. The topics will be focused on The impact of Life Science innovation on healthcare. Speakers will attend from both Sweden and the U.S. Please join us to promote this global collaboration.
