Odense’s life science ecosystem is growing – but if we want the companies of tomorrow to start, scale and stay here, they need more than talent and good ideas. They need the right physical environment.
This talk explores how Odense can strengthen its life science ecosystem by creating the spaces, infrastructure and communities that enable startups, researchers and established companies to grow – and what it will take to build the next generation of life science environments in the city.
