Industry collaboration

Karolinska provides a constructive and inspiring fusion of actual patient experiences, highly specialized healthcare professionals, cutting edge research and global business players.

We encounter our strategic partners in our daily work to jointly tackle complex issues – all the way from identifying needs and opportunities in everyday clinical practice to preparing implementation in daily care.

Karolinska University Hospital is one of Europe’s premier health facilities. Together with the respected Karolinska Institutet, we lead in development and medical breakthroughs.

Our two hospital sites are situated in the middle of growing life science clusters, with research facilities and industry partners just around the corner.

We integrate actively with the innovation eco system – locally, nationally and globally.

Our interaction with industry partners spans from inspirational meetings where we share insights, experiences and ideas to single project collaboration or long-term partnerships with multiple focus areas and projects.

Our spectrum of industry collaborations encompasses every phase of development.

• We value early involvement. Together we can identify needs in the care system, pinpoint new areas for innovation and develop the best solution possible – in the relevant clinical setting.
• We also value the potential of adopting new solutions addressing our identified clinical needs and working together late in the process, paving the way for implementation in daily care.

We form collaborations depending on where needs and opportunities are best matched, either focusing on a certain phase or encompassing the entire process.
