CEO and Founder of Ventures Accelerated

In this episode of Discovery Matters by Cytiva, innovation is explored from both a scientific and deeply human perspective. Insights are shared by Helena Strigård, CEO of Ventures Accelerated, and Lisa Lindström, Business Reinvention Leader at EY, on how AI, precision partnering, empathy, and behavioural insight are reshaping life sciences — and why true innovation depends as much on curiosity, collaboration, and judgment as it does on technology. From navigating financial headwinds to designing patient‑centred solutions, the discussion highlights how ideas move from possibility to real‑world impact.
