Baltic sea and Sweden initiative

Facts about ScanBalt BioRegion:
- 11 countries
- 85 million people.
- more than 60 universities
- more than 870 biotech/life science companies.

ScanBalt BioRegion has been founded with the aim of ensuring that North European Life Science and Biotechnology realises its potential for global competitiveness.

ScanBalt achieves this through the creation of a new ‘metaregional’ structure, which brings together regional and national expertise into one coherent, transnational, organisation.

ScanBalt members are networks between universities, biotech/life science industry, hospitals and other important actors in the biotech/life science arena.

Baltic Development Forum is an independent non-profit networking organisation with members from large companies, major cities, institutional investors and business associations in the Baltic Sea Region.

Experts from eight Baltic countries have convened in Warsaw for the Baltic Sea Economic Congress.


The event is co-organised by the Baltic Development Forum, Warsaw-based think-tank “demosEuropa” and the Office of the Committee for European Integration. During the congress, representatives of the Baltic states will discuss the challenges connected with protecting the environment and the economic development opportunities and prospects of the entire region. (something for polson)

The congress is also devoted to preparation of the EU Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region. The project to be ready by next spring is aimed at changing perceptions of the region both among its inhabitants and across the European Union.

The Pomeranian Science and Technology Park (PSTP) – a specialist centre for the promotion of innovativeness, situated in Gdynia, Poland, operates already for its seventh year. The Park is a modern entity which actively supports the development and transfer of advanced technologies, as well as the creation and commercialization of innovative projects. For these reasons the PSTP is often referred to as the Pomeranian Silicon Valley and serves as Gdynia’s and the entire Region’s flagship. In September 2007 the PSTP was honoured with membership in the ScanBalt network, and just six months later became part of the International Association of Science Parks (IASP). Access to these organizations opened PSTP towards broader possibilities of establishing new contacts and cooperation with foreign partners, as well as an extensive database and valuable information sources.
