More than 40,000 people work in the sector and it is a dynamic hub for research, innovation and entrepreneurship.

The links between Wales and Medicon Village and Medicon Valley were developed last year during a Welsh Government visit to the region, which spans the Greater Copenhagen area in Denmark and the Skåne region of southern Sweden.

Mrs Hart said: "This memorandum of understanding is designed to bring mutual benefits to businesses and organisations in both regions. I see it as the start of a long term, wide-ranging collaboration.

"It will provide businesses and research institutions with an unique opportunity to work much closer on an international level with a well-established and strong European life science cluster to find partners, collaborators and investors and help promote international business development."
