NEWS. On November 9, 2023, Sciety invited its investor network to an exclusive event on the theme of future scenarios and opportunities within life science. The evening featured a panel discussion on data-driven precision medicine with Tommi Unkuri, Partner and Co-founder of Summa Equity; Mattias Häggblom, Sector Head for Healthcare, Equity Research at Handelsbanken; and Mats Nilsson, professor at Science for Life Laboratory (SciLifeLab) and Co-founder of several biotech companies including Olink.
Sciety invited its investor network to yet another successful edition of the recurring event “future scenarios and opportunities within life science”. Together with prominent researchers, leading investors, and industry analysts, we took a deep dive into cutting-edge research and explored the latest trends in life science and digital health – from an investor perspective.
Sciety was pleased to welcome an expert panel consisting of our board member Tommi Unkuri, Partner and Co-founder of Summa Equity, an impact-focused private equity firm that manages approx. SEK 40 billion, where he is responsible for healthcare and life science investments; Mattias Häggblom, Sector Head for Healthcare, Equity Research at Handelsbanken Capital Markets, and one of the leading market analysts within life science in the Nordics; and Mats Nilsson, Professor at Science for Life Laboratory (SciLifeLab) – a Swedish national science center for large-scale research in life sciences – and Co-founder of several biotech companies including Olink, Q-linea, Halo Genomics, EMPE Diagnostics and Cartana.
The main topic of the night was data-driven precision medicine – a fast-growing field which offers personalised care against complex diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. The theme was discussed from a researcher, investor and market perspective with leading sector experts who shared in-depth analysis and unique insights from their respective industries. Precision medicine has the potential to revolutionise the future of healthcare, and Sweden is at the forefront of that rapid development, where the power of data is being used to diagnose diseases and tailor treatments.
Gunnar Ahlberg, Venture Partner at Sciety and PhD surgeon with over 40 years of clinical and strategic experience in healthcare, introduced the audience to the evening’s theme from a medical and scientific viewpoint, and moderated the subsequent panel conversation on recent innovations and investment opportunities within precision medicine.
Andreas Lindblom, Managing Partner at Sciety, discussed upcoming projects and shared some exciting news about Sciety’s continued growth journey and vision ahead.
Sciety would like to take the opportunity to thank all speakers and participants and look forward to organising similar events in the future.
