Copenhagen Life Science

Copenhagen Life Science is a collaboration between the public sector, private life science companies and universities in Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark – and the capital of life science. Through this innovative partnership we develop new solutions within the health area in order to secure better health for everyone as well as strengthening Danish companies, employment and export. But our ambitions go further than that: As a frontrunner within public-private health partnerships our true goal is to inspire others, globally, to use our model for improving their own health system, providing better and more equal health all over the World. Lighthouse Life Science Healthy Weight is an initiative from the Danish Minister for Industry, Business and Financial Affairs, which aims to ensure growth and welfare in the wake of COVID-19. The partnership behind Lighthouse consists of representatives from, among others, established companies, start-ups, funds, pension companies, regions and municipalities. The partnership model runs until 2030, and the government has initially allocated 82 million DKK to Lighthouse’s work. Further is the co-financing from private actors in the partnership and the EU Regional & Social Fund.
