Pharma and Biotech Visitors to Uppsala

Uppsala has a genuine concentration of pharma and biotech companies, some spun out of the university's own research and others long-established, and their proximity to Arlanda makes the city a common stop for international visitors, suppliers and partners flying in for a working visit rather than a leisure trip.

Put the company name and, where relevant, the specific building or site within it in your booking notes when you book — Uppsala's biotech sites sometimes share addresses or sit within larger science-park campuses, and being specific here means the driver goes straight to the right entrance rather than the general area.

Give us your flight number and we track it from before departure — your pickup follows your actual landing time, which matters when you're due at a site for a scheduled visit or meeting rather than arriving whenever the day allows.

Mark the booking as business, and your receipt is made out to your company with the price and VAT amount shown separately — the document a company's finance or travel-expense process typically needs, ready without a follow-up request after the trip.

• Name the company and specific site in your booking notes
• Mark the booking as business to preselect the company receipt
• Flight tracked, so your pickup follows the actual landing time
• One fixed price for the whole car, shown before you pay

Book your return leg to Arlanda as its own trip, with a pickup time set around when your visit is expected to finish — if the visit overruns, contact us and we can move a same-day pickup free of charge, subject to a car being available.

That flexibility matters more here than for a routine trip, since site visits and technical discussions with a pharma or biotech host often run longer than a standard business meeting, and building the option to shift your pickup in from the outset saves a scramble later in the day.
