The purpose of the trip was to introduce the Nordic SPARK projects to the opportunities available in Silicon Valley and give them the opportunity to build their own networks and market understanding.

The Nordic SPARK programs which include UiO:Life Science' innovation program SPARK Norway, have successfully collaborated over several years to boost the emergence of new innovative solutions in the health tech and life science field. Collaboration in mentoring of the projects started a few years ago, and we are now building the next level joint efforts.

Six new teams have been admitted to UiO?s innovation programme SPARK Norway. They will develop their ideas within health-related life sciences for the benefit of patients and society.
