Meet the companies
At this hangout 10 companies that are members of Oslo Cancer Cluster, have been asked to give a 2-minute pitch on their company to let researchers and students know what the company is all about and what they can discuss with representatives from the company at the matchmaking. The companies might for example share their experience on the transition from academia to industry or tell if they are open to collaboration, have plans to expand and if so, what competence they are looking for, or if they are open to hire interns.
Matchmaking
The companies are available for matchmaking with researchers and students in the area outside Forum auditorium after the talks and pitches

About the innovation hangouts
The Life Science Growth House will arrange quarterly afternoon/evening-innovation hangouts. This is an informal meeting place where researchers and students from the University of Oslo (UiO) can interact with actors from the public sector, hospitals, companies, mentors, business clusters and incubators within UiO’s innovation ecosystem. We will provide inspirational talks, talks from role models, matchmaking, food and beverages, and mingling.
The overall goal of the Life Science Growth House is to strengthen the innovation culture at UiO to put more knowledge from research to use. With this meeting place, we want to inspire researchers and students, give them self-confidence and knowledge about the innovation process, help them build networks, and facilitate collaboration between academia and industry.
