Sweden

The Swedish Research Council has published ithe country's first long-term vision for research infrastructures, with a perspective of ten to twenty years.

Who should profit from cutting-edge academic research: the scientists or the institution that funds them? Both, in a new biotech company launched by one of Sweden’s leading researchers.

Swedish spin-out Denator Biotechnology is raising money to fund development of its technology that analyses protein samples without adulterating them with added reagents.

A Linköpings Tekniska Högskola spin-out has developed plug-in devices for the direct production of 3D animations. The company is now looking for a first private funding round.

Sweden is ranked number one among 31 European nations for its spending on R&D - but it is still looking for its first home-grown biotechnology product.
