GoCo Arena is the platform that will drive the innovative culture of the entire Life Science cluster. The Arena is both a natural meeting place and an innovation program with participants from all over the world. Both are up and running, gaining momentum to tackle the challenges facing human health.
Our program aims to accelerate health innovation by bringing people together. Through this platform, scientists, professionals, creatives and entrepreneurs meet and share knowledge in order to innovate. The agenda is set together with our founding partners from the industry and academy.
The program will include different themes, speakers and regular occasions. The first theme is underway and lots more is waiting around the corner.
The physical Arena is designed for people to be creative and exchange ideas. It lies at the centre of the city, and is open to all who want to hang out, network and collaborate. The outside sets the tone, with reused shipping containers joined together to host restaurants, innovative meeting places, co-working and inspire creativity.

We have created a program that includes key players from the business world and top-tier researchers. Listen to their view of why initiatives such as this are crucial. The full 30-minute program will be available from March 15.
What we eat affects our health and how we perform. This is a well-established fact, but further knowledge about the relationship between nutrition and human health isn’t as widespread. With GoCo Arena’s open digital seminar on Nutrition, Health and Performance, we invite you to learn more.
The seminar will be held in Swedish and focuses on talks from different professionals, connected through their knowledge of how food affects us both physically and mentally. The speaker’s different perspectives and experiences will give you a deeper understanding of the role food plays in our lives.
The seminar is moderated by Lisa Lindström, founder of the design and innovation agency Doberman.
It’s widely accepted that physical activity is good for us. But how, why and to what extent? And perhaps most pressingly, how can we inspire people to be more physically active? We invite some of the most prominent experts to share their knowledge and then we inspire discussion, hold workshops and lay the foundation for new ideas.
Our physical activity is decreasing. Something that affects our mental and physical health negatively. However, it is not only adults who move less, but also our youngest citizens spend too much time sitting still. This is something that needs to change.
