Swedish Life Sciences is a comprehensive introduction to an industry that employs some 40,000 people in Sweden, accounts for 20 per cent of Swedish net export worth over over SEK 40 billion, and is fast becoming a cornerstone of the nationl economy.

With forewords contributed by the Swedish Trade Council, SwedenBIO, Swedish Medtech, LIF, Swedish Labtech and Swecare, the publication is divided into two sections: editorial, covering the history, recent developments, and technology of the sctor industry, and commercial, presenting many of the most important companies that have made it all possible.

Swedish Life Sciences is published in conventional and electronic form. As a beautifully produced hardback book, copies are distributed free of charge throughout the world, and are available at a number of important trade fairs and conferences related to the industry. Additional copies are available on request from Horn Publishing, which also publishes similar books on a range of business sectors and industries in a growing number of countries. When ordering additional copies of the books please explain why you want them and what you plan to do with them.

We sincerely hope you will find the editorial section interesting and useful. But even more important: we hope you will take note of the wealth of information on companies offering products and services that may be relevant to your needs. These are grouped into categories to help you find the most relevant companies as easily as possible.
