丹麦医药谷 Medicon Valley  
医谷(Medicon　vally)是重要的特色集群机构之一。1994年，北欧的丹麦和瑞典两国政府联手推动在丹麦哥本哈根地区和瑞典南部，成立北欧地区第一个生技医药谷--Medicon Valley。丹麦医药谷与英国剑桥、瑞士巴塞尔并列为三大欧洲最佳生物科技创新基地，是丹麦生物技术产业群的先锋，与大学院校、医院和公司都有着密切的合作。医药谷包括丹麦的哥本哈根地区和瑞典南部的Skane地区，有320万人口。与硅谷类似，医药谷的内涵是技术、人才和资金的高密度积聚，在这里集中了大批医院、大学、科学园和企业从事药物、生物和医学技术的研究和生产。


丹麦亦在中国上海设立了亚太地区丹麦投资促进局（ ），丹麦投资促进局（Invest in Denmark）隶属于丹麦外交部贸易委员会，负责制定外商投资政策和管理外国企业在丹麦的投资事务，帮助来丹投资者提供咨询和组建公司的一站式服务。无论外国公司在考虑选址、调整战略布局、设立创新生产基地或是寻求技术创新的合作伙伴，以及其他战略业务方案时，丹麦投资促进局都能为其提供帮助和服务，并协助他们建立与丹麦公司及大学之间的合作。丹麦投资促进局的专业服务覆盖从公司有初步意向到业务设立完成，同时与公司保持进一步的联络以确保外国投资者能够充分享受丹麦优越的投资环境。丹麦投资促进局还为客户提供信息保密，并提供专业且免费的服务，包括全球基准比较工具、针对客户需求的商务考察等。



MEDICON VALLEY IS ONE OF EUROPE'S STRONGEST LIFE SCIENCE CLUSTERS. IT SPANS THE GREATER COPENHAGEN AREA IN DENMARK AND THE SKÅNE REGION OF SOUTHERN SWEDEN.
Since the mid-1990s a fast-paced development has been taking place, and today Medicon Valley comprises a dense cluster of universities, hospitals and companies within life science, many of which are R&D based.

The history of Medicon Valley
Biotech is far from new to the region - in fact, some regard it as the cradle of biotech, thanks to the groundbreaking research that took place at the Carlsberg Breweries in Copenhagen in the late 1800's. Furthermore, many of the region's universities have a strong heritage in biological and medical research which have resulted in several Nobel Prize winners.

The almost century-long presence of a number of research-intensive and fully integrated pharmaceutical companies, such as Novo Nordisk, H. Lundbeck, AstraZeneca and LEO Pharma, have also contributed significantly to the development of the region by strengthening abilities within applied research, attracting suppliers and producing spin-offs.

In the mid-1990s the public authorities and the life science industry in Copenhagen and southern Sweden agreed to market the region internationally and to strive for a common goal: To be the most attractive bioregion in Europe.

Since 1997 Copenhagen Capacity and its Swedish counterpart Invest in Skåne have jointly branded the region as 'Medicon Valley' to reflect the region's life science strongholds, and today Medicon Valley is one of the strongest life science region in Europe.
