Livio

What Livio does

Livio is the largest fertility clinic group in the Nordics, operating nine private clinics across Sweden, Iceland, and Denmark and performing approximately 8,500 IVF treatments per year. Founded in 2000 as IVF-kliniken Stockholm AB by Dr. Steffan Lundberg and Associate Professor Håkan Wramsby, the group has grown primarily through acquisitions (including Fertilitetscentrum in 2008 and IVF-klinikken Oslo in 2014), was rebranded under the unified Livio name in 2018, and in 2023 became part of IVI RMA, the world's largest IVF provider. The group serves involuntarily childless couples, same-sex couples, single women, and women seeking fertility preservation, employing 45 of Sweden's and Iceland's most experienced IVF doctors alongside nurses, embryologists, and midwives.

The clinical offering spans fertility investigation, IVF, ICSI, insemination (IUI), stimulation, fertility preservation (egg, sperm, and embryo freezing), surgical sperm retrieval (PESA, TESA, MicroTESE), and counseling. Core laboratory technology includes vitrification (pioneered in Sweden for blastocysts in 2005 and unfertilized eggs in 2011), blastocyst culture, ICSI, time-lapse embryo monitoring, and ISO 15189-accredited sperm analysis. The Livio Egg and Sperm Bank, established in Sweden in 2019 and Iceland in 2020, is the first private egg and sperm bank in the Nordics and provides donor material to Livio clinics and other authorized clinics, materially reducing waiting times for donation treatments. All clinics are ISO 9001 certified.

Livio combines a direct-to-consumer private-pay model (single IVF/ICSI cycle SEK 48,000; three-cycle packages SEK 92,000-99,000; IVF with donor eggs SEK 111,000; double donation SEK 120,000; IUI SEK 14,000; egg freezing SEK 37,500) with publicly funded treatment agreements through regional healthcare councils such as Region Stockholm at SEK 275 per visit. Recurring revenue derives from annual embryo and sperm storage fees and continuing patient relationships. Patient financing is delivered in partnership with Svea Bank, offering 6-12 month interest-free payment plans. The company is led by CEO Anna-Carin Strandberg and operates under the legal entity Livio AB, headquartered in Stockholm.
