Chalmers announced as new Founding Partner for GoCo Arena

At GoCo Arena, academia, industry and the public sector meet to share and exchange ideas, knowledge and experiences. A meeting place and innovation platform that, together with committed partners and actors, invites to discussions and collaborations with the goal of driving the life science industry forward. With Chalmers University of Technology as a new Founding Partner, the process of connecting academia and industry, competence and evidence will be further strengthened, says Josephine Urbath, Project Manager at GoCo Health Innovation City.

- Chalmers has been involved in GoCo Arena since the very beginning, so it is very gratifying that we can now also welcome them as a Founding Partner and develop the collaboration further. Chalmers holds enormous knowledge and scientific excellence, which will be of great value for both the content of the arena and beneficial to the industry continues Josephine Urbath.

Chalmers was founded in 1829 and today has 3,000 employees, 11,000 students and a global as well as local commitment that drives innovation for society at large. The entrepreneurial spirit is close at heart at Chalmers, and as a foundation university, Chalmers works to both challenge established systems and to create and spread knowledge and solutions based on a scientific basis.

- To Chalmers, the scientific field where technology meets health is extremely important, says President Stefan Bengtsson. It will become even more important, but it is an area where we already have great strengths today. If you add to that, the Chalmers DNA of combining scientific excellence with collaborative spirit and close relations to the industry and society – then it is absolutely obvious that we should be engaged in the creation of an innovation community for health and technology.

Chalmers is joining as new founding partner in January 2023.
