The Swedish American Life Science Summit 2012 Goes Global in the Beautiful City of Stockholm in August 22-24!
Now in its eighth year, SALSS has become more global than ever. The 2012 Summit will focus on Globalization of the Healthcare Market, emphasizing: Asia, Diabetes and Digital Health.
By 2050, China will have established itself as a world power in science. It will also become the largest pharmaceutical market. R&D labs in India are churning out a number of innovative healthcare solutions, with India's track record in the global IT market the country is ideally positioned for growth in the Bio-IT outsourcing field for drug discovery and development and life sciences research.
Increasing Westernization of the developing world, changing lifestyle choices due to higher disposable incomes are multiplying the incidence of affluence related diseases. Diabetes alone results in more than 3 million deaths every year, more than AIDS.
The convergence of information technologies, communication media like the Internet and wireless with healthcare technologies are altering the way doctors monitor and treat patients. This shift will play a critical role in addressing problems of access to healthcare physician shortages, and reduce overall healthcare costs.
All of this will be addressed at our Summit in August, which will no doubt raise the bar even further for the SALSS ambition to excel! And, as part of our SALSS family, you already know that this ambition also includes a good time together in the beautiful city of Stockholm. See you there!

I wanted to send you a thank you note for inviting me to
SALSS this
year.
It was a wonderful conference, and with a very select number of
speakers and participants.
The organization was really perfect and it gave a great image of the
life sciences arena in Sweden.
I also made great business contacts.

created at SALSS!

Thank you so much for your love and effort. Wow what an
organization. I know how hard it is to set up a meeting once, much less
keeping an organized program like yours going.
Dr. Florence Haseltine
Founder, Society for Women's Health Research
Thank you for the most topical, inspiring and global
Swedish-American
Life Science Summit to date. The program did not only feature the
opportunities of the current development in life science but was also
an excellent platform for forming new collaborations and friendships,
vital to the whole industry. The SALSS organizing team truly excelled
in bringing together the thought-leaders and health care luminaries,
encouraging new ideas and brave steps in a rapidly changing world!
