Summer Breakfast Focused on Collaboration and a Shared Vision for Flemingsberg’s Future

2026-09-15

Recently, stakeholders from business, academia, and the public sector gathered for the Summer Breakfast event, “What’s Happening in Flemingsberg?”, to take the pulse of developments in the area.

Flemingsberg is undergoing significant transformation, with a growing center, new establishments, and increasingly strong momentum. Throughout the morning, perspectives from industry, the gaming sector, academia, life science, and place development came together in a discussion that highlighted both the breadth and the potential of the area’s growth.

At the heart of the event was the day’s panel – the “Flemingsberg Heroes” – featuring representatives from Södertörn University, Alfa Laval, Press Start Game Tech Hub, Life Science Cluster Flemingsberg, and Huge Bostäder. Together, they shared insights from their respective fields and a common vision of what is needed to continue strengthening Flemingsberg.

A clear message that emerged was that collaboration is essential in an increasingly complex and rapidly changing world. At the same time, the importance of perseverance was emphasized – building for the long term and investing in local talent development. Innovation does not happen in silos, but through the interaction of people, ideas, and sectors.

The rapidly growing gaming industry was also highlighted as an important part of the future, with initiatives such as Press Start helping to strengthen the connection between Flemingsberg, Stockholm, and the global GameTech ecosystem.

“We want to bring together both established players and those who are curious about Flemingsberg, showcase what is happening here, and create new connections. Flemingsberg is a place where unexpected collaborations emerge. At the same time, the foundation has evolved into something of a ‘house of brands,’ with several initiatives that collectively strengthen the identity of Flemingsberg. In the end, however, it is the bigger picture – the place itself and all the stakeholders who contribute to it – that matters most,” says Johnny Högberg, CEO of the Flemingsberg Science Foundation.
