A world class science city

In 2007, the business community, four universities, the City of Stockholm and Solna and Stockholm County Council were united in their shared vision for an area that was at that time an eyesore in terms of infrastructure and poorly utilised land in central Stockholm. We are talking about the Norra Station district, strategically located, with a large concentration of research and enterprise activities in the life sciences in the vicinity. The conclusion of this agreement was that a brand new city district should be built here, with world-leading life science research and enterprise activities. And the area would be called Hagastaden – a world-class science city!
