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.
The Life Science Growth House and business clusters kick off innovation hangouts where researchers, students and businesses can build networks. In this way, we will facilitate collaboration that puts more research from UiO to use for the benefit of patients and society.
The Life Science Growth House and dScience – Centre for Computational and Data Science will strengthen the innovation culture at UiO and contribute to making Oslo Science Park an even more holistic ecosystem for innovation where business and academia meet. Aim: Put knowledge from research into use!
