UMEÅ = BEST IN SWEDEN! 🏆 Umeå kommun has been named the best municipality to live in Sweden by Fokus magazine. What a piece of news to kick off the vacation with! https://lnkd.in/dB5dX7Bd ✨ At Umeå Biotech Incubator, we started our last weekly meeting before summer vacation with a Corner Hole game - and now we want to thank everyone for an eventful and inspiring first half of 2024. 🎯 Here (and in the photo gallery) are some UBI highlights from January to June. 🎇 We launched our new EU project, Life Science City. Check out our guide to Umeå: https://lnkd.in/eWU4CF_2 💥 The event Open Up for Innovation brought together 100 participants from academia and industry to promote innovation and collaboration. 🧨We were recognized by the Financial Times as one of Europe's leading startup hubs. 🙌 We had 400 visitors at our Job Fair, featuring 19 companies and a specially curated fair magazine. 🔬 A life science super day with Umeås first ever Lab Fair, followed by a packed Life Science Pub. 🎈 In total, we've had around 1,000 visitors/participants at events/networks arranged/coordinated by us during the spring. 📈 Many of our incubator companies are making strides.
