Rent a spaceContact

It all started with a vision: to create a world-leading environment for innovation where academia, healthcare, industry, entrepreneurs and investors could come together to accelerate the future of health. Today, Forskaren is the heart of Hagastaden – one of the world’s most dynamic Life Science innovation districts and a destination where people, ideas and organizations come together to drive progress. Located at Hagaplan, alongside Karolinska University Hospital, Karolinska Institutet, and SciLifeLab, Forskaren sits at the center of a globally unique concentration of research, healthcare, talent and innovation.

The place for Life Science in Stockholm

The building brings together approximately 20 tenants spanning the entire Life Science ecosystem – from pioneering biotech and medtech companies to research organizations, investors, healthcare actors, and support functions. By creating an environment where people, ideas, and expertise meet every day, Forskaren accelerates innovation and enables new partnerships that can transform the future of health and medicine.
