Cross-border Talent Bridge
Welcome to Cross-border Talent Bridge
We are dedicated to strengthening skills supply in Life Science and Tech across the Greater Copenhagen region. By addressing the skills shortage in Denmark and Sweden, this project brings together key partners to enhance the region’s global appeal to specialized talent.
Uniting Key Partners for Global Talent
The City of Lund lead this project, with key partners including Ideon Science Park, Medicon Village, OpenTech, the City of Copenhagen, and Medicon Valley Alliance, supported by universities and other stakeholders. By uniting these partners, the project aims to strengthen the region’s global attractiveness to specialized talent.
Matchmaking companies and talent within Life Science and Tech
We support Life Science and Tech companies by connecting them with international talent, including master’s students, PhDs, postdocs, and their families.

The action areas developed by our partnership focus on talent retention and attraction, policy impact, and fostering cross-border collaboration. Together, we aim to tackle talent mobility barriers and design a long-term talent strategy.
With a shared vision and strong teamwork, the project partners work closely together to exchange experiences, share innovative solutions, and learn from each other across borders—where dedication and collaboration are key to making it happen.
Our project contributes to UN Goal 8 – Decent Work and Economic Growth, fostering sustainable growth through talent mobility and cross-border collaboration. Our co-funder, Interreg ÖKS, always connects its projects to the United Nations Global Goals.
