Bent Høie to open conference on Nordic test facilities
What role can Nordic hospitals and municipalities play in transforming health and care together with innovative companies?
Join us in Oslo 8 November to share experiences with organisations that have or want to set up a test facility in their health organisation, and to discuss how we can develop our test facilities in the Nordic region to serve the needs of both hospitals, municipalities and companies.
Companies will have the opportunity to meet hospital and municipal leaders and key Nordic test facilities both in one-to-one meetings and during the day.
When: 8 November, 09:00 - 16:00
Where: Oslo Science Park, Gaustadalléen 21, Oslo, Norway
The conference is hosted by Nordic Innovation and leading actors within the Nordic test facility ecosystem on both hospital and municipal level. These actors are part of three test facility projects that were financed through Nordic Innovation in collaboration with national funding agencies Vinnova, Innovation Norway, Tekes and Rannis.

Exploring seaweed in the Faroe Islands
Late September, Nordic Innovation and the Macro Cascade Bio Based Industries project held a two-day event in the Faroe Islands called Nordic Seaweed â From Research to Innovative Business Opportunities.
We invited industry and researchers from all over Europe to show how they use seaweed to create new products, conduct innovative research, and to speak about the rapid emerging industry. The event was an activity under the Nordic Marine Innovation Programme 2.0, which aims to increase business opportunities, sustainability and profitability within the Nordic marine sector through innovative solutions.
The event tied the Nordics and Europe together by exchanging knowledge in the field of seaweed and exploring how to go from research to commercialisation.
