Support Office for Life Science & Health is a project that supported research and development within Life Science, health, care and welfare in Northern Sweden, and was carried out during the period 2023–2026.

About the project

Through collaboration between universities, regions, and municipalities, ideas have been identified, developed, and linked to the right expertise, funding, and support, enabling them to be advanced toward implementation and practical application.

The project supported the following areas: 

Development of ideas 

The project has worked to identify ideas within research, health, care, welfare and the public sector. Through meetings, workshops, and targeted activities, new collaborations have been established between researchers, clinicians, companies, and public-sector stakeholders.

Increased resources for research and development

Many ideas require external funding to be developed further. SOLH has assisted stakeholders in identifying relevant funding opportunities and improving the quality of their applications. Through targeted calls for proposals, verification funding has been awarded to promising initiatives.

Management of intellectual assets

The project has provided guidance on intellectual property and the utilization of results, ensuring that research findings and innovations can be put to use and implemented.
