Uppsala LIFE 2025
Rethinking Health –
From Ideas to Impact
In an era where breakthroughs in life science are accelerating, a new insight is emerging: the future of health depends not only on innovation but on how we put it into context.
At Uppsala LIFE 2025, entrepreneurs, healthcare professionals, researchers and policymakers come together to explore how we can move beyond isolated solutions and work toward real collaboration and meaningful outcomes.

Resilience in War and Peace
How we prepare for unforeseen events is a key factor in maintaining high-quality healthcare and creating the conditions for innovation in both times of peace and war. We highlight the subject from international, national, and regional levels, from both an organizational perspective and through the example of antibiotics.
Speakers:
Taha Alexandersson (The National Board of Health and Welfare), Anna Sjöblom (Uppsala University).

Cutting the Gordian Knot in Prevention – Is It Possible?
One of the keys to addressing today’s and tomorrow’s challenges in healthcare, and thereby creating the conditions for a thriving ecosystem, is to shift part of healthcare from reactive to proactive. We illustrate this using the broader concept of health as the driving force.
Panelists:
Martin Malmberg (Sirius Fotboll), Anders Ekholm (Institute for Future Studies), Johan Sundström (Uppsala University), and Meena Daivadanam (Uppsala University).

Dragons’ Den (Friendly Edition)
For an innovation to truly take root in a public or private organization, it must meet a genuine need. We have invited three “kind dragons” who will evaluate three innovations based on healthcare’s needs. What needs to be refined for a solution to be adopted in the best possible way within a complex system?
Dragons:
Sara Frykstrand Ångström (Industrifonden), Mats Ryttlefors (Uppsala University Hospital), Annika Remaeus (Uppsala municipality) and Katarina Blomkvist (Uppsala University).
17:00
Mingle and Networking
Connect with new colleagues over a mingle platter.
The Commentary
To gain an objective perspective on the performances on stage, and to learn from major sporting events, we also have a knowledgeable commentary panel that will share their opinions and reflections on the stage program.
Guests:
Jeanette Edblad (Government Offices of Sweden), Tomas Stavbom (Stockholm Chamber of Commerce) and Björn Arvidsson (Uppsala Region).
Join us at Uppsala LIFE 2025 for a day of connection and insights, where we rethink health, together.
