Project: Skills supply for future medicines
Sahlgrenska Science Park is leading a pre-study project, part of West Sweden's smart transition initiative, addressing the need for unique skills in advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMPs).
The goal of the pre-study is to mobilize organizations active in life science in West Sweden to develop a joint, well-anchored work plan that clarifies the competency needs and the critical initiatives required to meet future skills needs in the area of ATMPs.
Key question for pre-study
What is collectively required by West Sweden's life science community between 2024-2027 to secure skills supply within the ATMP area?
This main question includes two sub-questions:
What skills needs are seen within the ATMP area?
What activities are needed to meet these needs?
Then, in a next step implementation phase, be able to build a common platform and structure to achieve this.

The challenge | The opportunity | The solution |
Due to the global race underway, there is a shortage of ATMP-related skills and talent. It is particularly difficult for Sweden, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises and the public sector, to recruit. | Advanced therapies based on cells, tissues, and genes create opportunities to revolutionize care with the potential to cure the previously incurable. | West Sweden is focused on developing tailored ATMP skills through collaboration among universities, businesses and healthcare, addressing current needs and establishing a joint platform for future growth. |
