In Norway, we often look to other countries when we talk about innovation and business in the field of life sciences. We still have a lot to learn from other countries, but a lot of good things is happening in the innovation ecosystem for life sciences in Oslo that we can be proud of, and that others are curious about and want to learn from.

Health and life sciences is one of four thematic areas in Norway's first innovation district Oslo Science City. ‘Oslo Science City and the strong members are important to us. Together, we will develop the Growth House to become an innovation engine in Oslo Science City’, says the director of the Growth House, Hilde Nebb.
Through a number of services from the newly established Life Science Growth House, we facilitate increased innovation in life sciences, health and technology at the University of Oslo (UiO). Our new innovation meeting place for the innovation ecosystem will stimulate networking and collaboration that can contribute to more knowledge from research at UiO being put to use and benefiting patients and society.
In 2017, something completely new happened at the University of Oslo, the first convergence environments were created under the auspices of UiO:Life Science.
