– Welcome to an expansive region

The Östgöta region is the natural location for enterprises and organisations that want to join in developing efficient care services. We have abundant resources, and we’d like to share with you if you choose to settle here.

Below, we list some of the reasons why we think you should establish yourself here in the Östgöta region.

New Tools for Health
Our association is the hub of many different organisations that foster the development of comprehensive home-based care. One advantage you’ll get from joining us is access to a large regional, national and international contact network.

Ample labour supply
Linköping University, with its 26,000 students, is a major resource for all the enterprises that establish themselves in the region. The University has an outstanding Faculty of Health Sciences, with a long tradition of study programmes and research in medicine and technology. This makes the region especially attractive to businesses that develop or sell products in the care sector.

Here, too, are Norrköping Science Park and Mjärdevi Science Park — two settings for entrepreneurs and knowledge-intensive enterprises where people get together to run businesses, exchange ideas, disseminate knowledge and build networks.

Unique testbed
Our unique testbed, ‘New Homes for Health’ (Hälsans nya hem), is ideal for anyone wishing to test products or services involving healthcare and community care in a home environment with real users. The testbed is also open to people who are not established in the region. Testing a product or service here may be a good way of acquainting oneself with the regional development environment ahead of a start-up in our region.

A region to thrive in
Linköping and Norrköping in the Östgöta region, known as the ‘Twin Cities of Sweden’ are engines of growth and make up the fourth metropolitan region of the country. For those who choose to live here, the opportunities are endless. Would you prefer to live in town, in the country or perhaps by the sea? In this region, you can make up your own mind. There’s a labour market with more than 170,000 jobs within commuting distance, fine natural amenities, countless cultural and entertainment venues, good schools and well-functioning childcare services. .
