You work within a business area with potential - Use it, don't lose it!
Infection prevention and control is a very important and growing sector, as it offers opportunities to tackle an increasing concern of mankind - the problem with infections, infectious diseases and antibiotic resistance.
Sweden is at the forefront in this area, with large numbers of companies based on world class research on infection and with great innovations. Here we find companies working with prevention and treatment of infection, vaccine production and development, as well as diagnostics. But we are not alone. In order to keep a leading position we need to continue to develop, and work together.
