Forskaren is supposed to be a meeting place for the industry and the public. Today, the building is home to several life science companies and the ground floor houses Tekniska museet’s branch The Cell.

The opening, which lasted for two days, consisted of seminars and musical performances, writes Vectura in a press release.

The first day was attended by, among others, Marcus Wallenberg who, together with Vectura's CEO Joel Ambré, inaugurated the concept "Forskaren for innovation across all borders" with a ribbon cutting. The second day was attended by the Swedish King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia as well as Denmark's King and Queen, Fredrik X and Mary, who were in Sweden on a state visit.

The building, which is located in close proximity to the Karolinska Institutet and Karolinska University Hospital, contains both office and lab spaces and is a meeting place for approximately 1,700 employees.
