Several new actors have been established in our ecosystem of innovation during the year.
In October Scandinavia’s first Health Innovation School opened. Prime Minister Erna Solberg visited at the opening.
The School of Health Innovation is an initiative from the faculties of medicine at UiO, NTNU and Karolinska Institutet. It is developed in collaboration with Nansen Neuroscience, and Oslo Cancer Cluster and Oslo Medtech are among its collaborators.

In October the health incubator Aleap opened. The incubator will house 60 entrepreneurs. Oslo Medtech, Inven2 and Oslotech have founded the incubator.
Earlier in 2016 UiO helped establish the new cluster Oslo Lifetech that later was renamed to The Life Science Cluster. The cluster’s ambition is 50 new startups within life sciences by 2020.
