About
Making Sweden world leading in ATMPs by 2030
What is ATMP Sweden?
ATMP Sweden is a national platform for communication, coordination, and collaboration within the Swedish advanced therapies ecosystem, bringing together stakeholders across academia, healthcare, industry, and public sector to support the development and implementation of Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products (ATMPs).
National Initiative Coordination
ATMP Sweden assists in coordinating interactions between Nationally funded initiatives working in different areas of ATMP development to ensure that together we develop effective processes for GMP translation, clinical trials, market approval and reimbursement, enable the greatest possible access for Swedish patients to these innovative medicines.
History
ATMP Sweden was established in 2018, emerging from the communications work package of the Swelife-funded project Swelife-ATMP. From the outset, the ambition was to create a joint platform serving the entire Swedish ATMP ecosystem rather than a single initiative, enabling more effective use of shared knowledge and resources across academia, healthcare, industry, and the public sector.
To facilitate a space for the collective knowledge, materials and resources for the platform’s partners and stakeholders, the atmpsweden.se website was created. The concept for the annual national conference was developed together with the Centre for Advanced Medicinal Products (CAMP), the only other national ATMP initiative at the time.
Since its inception, the ATMP Sweden platform has hosted eight physical and virtual conferences, the ATMP World Tour webinar series, and a range of other events.
The ATMP Sweden Association
The platform’s sustainability was secured in 2023, when Föreningen ATMP Sweden -The ATMP Sweden Association, was formally established as a non-profit legal entity to maintain stewardship of ATMP Sweden. This transition ensured the long-term sustainability of the platform, which had previously been supported by national initiatives such as Swelife-ATMP and ATMP2030. Today, the association’s operations and activities are supported by the engagement of its members.
