At Sahlgrenska Science Park, you get all your guidance in the same place - from starting up to scaling up internationally. The cherry on top is its location.

CO-AX has several advantages that become evident over time. Among them are the ability to engage in out of the box thinking about strategic issues as well as providing insight into pitch-deck formulations for pursuing financing and branding for websites and other public information. At the same time, there is no imposition of a standard “how to do it” which allows for individual creativity. And it is a fun community to be a part of.
