The Danish capital region’s life sciences cluster is a major world player, especially in areas such as enzymes, CNS research, diabetes care and cancerresearch. Together with the Skåne region in the south of Sweden, the capital region of Denmark founded Medicon Valley, one of Europe’s top 3 sites for life sciences innovation alongside Cambridge (United Kingdom) and Basel (Switzerland). Medicon Valley spearheads the Danish life sciences cluster with a strong presence and close collaboration between universities, hospitals and companies.
