Life Science Across Borders: Connecting North Texas & Sweden
Life Science Across Borders: Connecting North Texas & Sweden
North Texas and Sweden are both building dynamic life-science ecosystems where research, entrepreneurship, industry and investment come together. Join leaders from both regions for an evening built around one practical question: where can North Texas and Sweden collaborate? Through a panel discussion and networking reception, we’ll explore how discoveries move from research to real-world applications, what startups need to grow, and how stronger ties between the two ecosystems can create new opportunities for researchers, companies and investors on both sides of the Atlantic.
