Panel debate: Investing in Scandinavia
Investors are actively looking at investing in Scandinavian life science and biotech companies; alone in 2019, foreign investments in Danish Life science contributed with DKK 10bn*. This session provides an overview of why investors are looking to Scandinavia, what they are looking for specifically (i.e. how you can secure U.S. investments), and what they experience as the most common pitfalls for Scandinavian start-ups/companies. The session also aims to debate the local environments and regulations in each Scandinavian country that sometimes makes it difficult for foreign investors to navigate​
