Science Park Update gives you a quick overview of what’s happening in the Linköping innovation eco-system. 2021 was for sure an exceptional year – challenging and transformative in many ways. Linköping seems to have been quite resilient until now. Listen to representatives from the region and municipalities, industry organizations, and of course a number of entrepreneurs and executives.

We will give you an overview of what is going on in an up-tempo program covering companies that have chosen Linköping, new startups, and growing scaleups as well as insights into our ongoing and new digital initiatives and project platforms. We will also highlight activities within talent attraction and community building.

Take the opportunity to tap into Linköping’s innovative business community and meet the fantastic people, startups, scaleups, and international R&D companies inspiring Linköping – and the globe – with technology, services, and an explorative mindset.

We serve breakfast at 08.00 and the program starts at 08.30.
