Welcome to a UBI House breakfast & seminar at Tvistevägen 48, in conference room "Skogen". UBI offers breakfast from 8.15, and the seminar starts at 8.30. 

Speaker: Sofia Mayans, Head of Manufacturing Site at Diamyd Medical in Umeå. 

Seminar: "Resilience on the Road to Innovation: Lessons from Diamyd Medical’s Journey"

About: The journey of developing new drugs is rarely a smooth path. A company’s success hinges on its ability to navigate challenges with resilience and determination. These challenges can range from scientific hurdles to setbacks involving key partners, such as production experts.

In my talk, I’ll take you behind the scenes of Diamyd Medical’s journey — sharing the obstacles we’ve encountered over the years and the strategies we’ve employed to overcome them.
Join me as we explore how our relentless drive has kept us moving forward, turning challenges into opportunities for growth and innovation.

Registration deadline: Friday, April 17. 

Participation fee: This event is sponsored by Umeå Biotech Incubator (UBI) with support from the European Union. There is no actual fee for participating. For delegates from the industry, state-aid/de-minimis will be accounted for corresponding to 50 SEK per person.

State aid & de-minimis: Umeå Biotech Incubator is obliged to account for activities they arrange, and support they provide, that are directed to specific companies or a group of companies where the receiving companies do not pay market price for the participation. The value of this support is accounted for as state-aid. 
Small amounts of State aid (‘de minimis’ aid) are exempted from State aid control, as they are deemed to have no impact on competition and trade in the internal market of the European Union (EU). De minimis aid indeed refers to small amounts of State aid to undertakings (companies) that do not have to be notified to the European Commission by the EU Member States.
The maximum amount is € 300,000 for each undertaking over 3 years.
De minimis can also be granted to large companies that are not entitled to larger sums of state-aid under Article 22.
