In 2008-9, our strategic keyword is oncology. In essence, UK Trade & Investment will be facilitating targeted oncology crossover initiatives to stimulate strategic knowledge sharing and new and innovative research and industry co-operations.

During the UK-Nordic Life Sciences Strategy Launch, delegates had the opportunity to network with cutting-edge UK oncology organisations visiting Medicon Valley to discuss current trends, R&D collaboration and business development with Danish and Swedish counterparts.

The UK-Nordic Oncology Network intends to stage targeted partnering events in the following year - do not miss the chance to be inspired by insightful keynote speakers, colleagues and potential partners from the UK and Medicon Valley as well as the opportunity to create value by joining.
