Tools of Science
Offering a complete and updated coverage of the drug development and life science-related services available in Sweden, Tools of Science is an information platform which works both with an online platform (http://www.toolsofscience.se/) and a network full of activities where participants can meet and profile their companies.
Main goals
Tools of Science’s primary target group are researchers from the academic and the industry spheres. This tool aims at:
- allowing drug developing companies to reach higher efficiency by offering them fast access to important services;
- providing a forum where specialised competencies and presumptive clients can meet.
Many reasons to be involved
Those who use Tools of Science do it as a way to reach a wide and updated selection of services or to profile their competences.
Those who are members have different motivations. Some consultants or small companies use it to get visibility without having to invest the resources needed to be in other branch catalogues or databases.
In other cases, global companies might use Tools of Science to show their presence/interest in the Swedish market. And there are also plenty of more general services (e.g. patenting, recruitment) which use this tool to showcase their specific life science activities.
How is this done?
More visibility than non-members, possibility to speak and/or exhibit their products at breakfast and thematic seminars, mingling events or workshops, and visibility in newsletters are some of the opportunities to be an active part of the network.
In addition, http://www.toolsofscience.se/ is continuously updated and openly accessible to all.
Who is behind this tool?
Stockholm Science City Foundation owns and hosts Tools of Science.
Those who choose to become exclusive members of Tools of Science have a seat in the regular marketing meetings. They have a voice in how the budget is to be spent.
