AstraZeneca Exchange Nordics
When the life science sector grows, we all grow, and patients benefit
AstraZeneca Exchange Nordics supports Nordic start-up companies and their entrepreneurs by connecting them with AstraZeneca's experts. The intention is to share expertise and experiences between start-ups and AstraZeneca to speed up innovations and move start-ups towards sustainable and successful growth and which will ultimately benefit patients. This programme also provide opportunities for learning and networking for all involved.
How does it work?
Our set-up
Our goal for AstraZeneca Exchange Nordics is to support the Life Science sector by leveraging our scientific and commercial expertise in a business-to-business advisory model. Via established Nordic incubators and academic innovation programmes we engage around queries identified by their entrepreneurs and the start-up companies.
AstraZeneca Exchange Nordic offers an opportunity for explorative, non-confidential, discussions with expertise from AstraZeneca mentors on a wide range of topics within life science. Our mentors provide this support typically through one-off advisory sessions in strategic matters in the early start-up journey to help entrepreneurial ideas grow.
AstraZeneca Exchange Nordics is part of AstraZeneca’s global initiative to support the Life Science sector through local programs. More information can be found here: https://www.astrazeneca.com/astrazeneca-exchange.html
Since we work with very early start-ups, the dialogue with industry representatives at AstraZeneca is highly valuable. Their sometimes challenging insights are crucial when we draft activity and business plans for new pharma cases. AstraZeneca’s staff has shown a genuine interest in and respect for our cases, and shown dedication to find the best opportunities by using their expertise and experience in the field. Our researchers and innovators use their constructive feedback when setting robust strategies for moving forward.
Currently, we have established relations with the following organizations in the Nordics:
Being a mentor in AstraZeneca Exchange helps me to keep track of the latest innovations in healthcare and life science. If my competence can be used to help a promising start-up becoming the next big success story and contribute to improved patient health, I would be honored.
