Inspiring international week in the Life Science Growth House
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. At the turn of the month April/May top students from ETH Zürich and research advisers from all over Europe visited to learn more about the innovation ecosystem in the vibrant Oslo Science Park and at the same time giving us inspiration to our own work in the time to come.
