From Research to Everyday Life: Medeon Highlights World Diabetes Day Skåne 2025
On November 13, researchers, companies, healthcare professionals, and patient organizations will gather at the Clinical Research Centre (CRC) in Malmö for World Diabetes Day Skåne 2025 – an annual event that brings together the people and ideas shaping the future of diabetes care.
This year’s theme is Health and Well-being in Diabetes, focusing on how diet, physical activity, and diabetes technology influence daily life for those living with the condition.
15 Years of the Medeon Award – Celebrating Scientific Impact
This year marks the 15th anniversary of the Medeon Award, established in 2010 by Medeon Science Park, in collaboration with Moll Wendén Law Firm and Max Matthiessen.

The 2025 Medeon Award of SEK 50,000 goes to Dr Ben King, Associate Professor at Lund University:
“Dr Ben King receives this award for his innovative research on proteins that protect and maintain the functionality of pancreatic beta cells. This research provides important insights that could pave the way for novel therapeutic strategies in diabetes.”
The award ceremony takes place between 5:10–5:40 PM, followed by a lecture by Dr King.
The event will be moderated by Dr Malin Fex, researcher at LUDC.
Lectures: 4:00–7:00 PM

Diabetes – One of Medeon’s Core Focus Areas
Diabetes is one of Medeon’s four strategic focus areas, alongside MedTech, Oral Health, and Healthy Aging.
What connects them all is prevention – supporting innovation that helps people stay healthier, longer.

Across the Medeon and Malmö community, companies are working on digital health solutions, diagnostic technologies, and sensor systems that make early detection and personalized care possible.
Our partnership in World Diabetes Day Skåne reflects Medeon’s broader mission: to bridge research, innovation, and public health in ways that make a tangible difference.
Healthy Work Day – Turning Prevention into Daily Practice
At Medeon, we believe that health begins where we spend most of our waking hours – at work.
Our Healthy Work Day concept helps companies in the park integrate movement and recovery into the workday.
Every week, Medeon tenants and partners are welcome to join:
High Intensity Interval Training – Mondays 16:00–16:30 (Medeon Gym)
Yoga – Tuesdays 12:10–12:25 (Building K)
Jogging – Wednesdays 11:45 (meeting at reception)
It is not about performance – it is about balance.
Small, consistent actions can improve well-being, reduce stress, and strengthen team culture – the same preventive principles that drive better long-term health outcomes for people with diabetes.
Bridging Oral and Systemic Health – Dent2Health Breaks Records
On October 8, Medeon hosted the Dent2Health Conference 2025 in Malmö – and this year’s edition set a new attendance record.
The theme, “Bridging Oral and Systemic Health”, showcased how integrating oral and general health can have a major impact on both prevention and health economics.
Just a few weeks later, at the Medicon Valley Alliance Summit (November 10), Medeon’s CEO Malin Bornschein presented the Dent2Health initiative and how connecting oral and systemic health creates new opportunities for early detection and cross-disciplinary innovation.
