Oslo Science City

An inspiring royal visit to Oslo Science City from HRH Princess Astrid of Belgium and the Belgian Economic Mission this week! The University of Oslo and Oslo Science City welcomed 450 people from academia, biotech and medtech to the Belgium & Norway Life Sciences Day in Forskningsparken - Oslo Science Park. The program focused on life science, collaborative research, technology transfer and entrepreneurial initiatives to stimulate more innovation and sustainable economic growth based on excellent science.   HRH Princess Astrid and HE Hadja Lahbib, Minister of Foreign Affairs, visited Health2Be at Norway Health Tech where Michael Eimstad demonstrated the award-winning EpiShuttle and Jon Amund Kyte presented the Oncodistinct network for clinical trials. Great connections between Oslo University Hospital, the University of Oslo and Institut Jules Bordet, Université catholique de Louvain and Queen Astrid Military Hospital in Belgium.   Norwegian and Belgian students from UiO and UCLouvain shared their experiences with Circle U. (European University Alliance), the European University Alliance to increase students' engagement in innovation and sustainability.   The program continued with a seminar dedicated to universities' role in innovation ecosystems hosted by University of Oslo, UCLouvain and Oslo Science City. Excellent science is the basis for dynamic and entrepreneurial innovation ecosystems.   The success story of nuclear medicine and second-generation radiopharmaceuticals for cancer treatment was showcased in the last seminar of the day, where Øyvind Bruland, Caroline Stokke, Erik Flatmark and Thomas Birger Edén-Jensen discussed the complete value chain established in Oslo, supported by Carl Henrik Görbitz, Jan Bjaalie and Leif Rune Skymoen. In May 2025, Oslo Science City together with University of Oslo and Oslo University Hospital will host the international symposium TAT-13 with updates on recent developments across the spectrum of targeted alpha therapy.

Yesterday we hosted HRH Princess Astrid of Belgium and the Belgian Economic Mission in Oslo Science City at Forskningsparken - Oslo Science Park.   Together with the University of Oslo, Oslo University Hospital and Legemiddelindustrien (LMI) we presented Oslo Science City as a platform for research based innovation and strategic cross disciplinary collaboration, showcasing the success story of nuclear medicine.   The pioneering work of Øyvind Bruland and the excellent research groups based in Oslo kommune is the foundation of the commercial success of second-generation radiopharmaceuticals for cancer treatment. This is a complex area, where Oslo Science City has a complete innovation ecosystem and value chain of partnerships.   Leif Rune Skymoen, CEO of the Association of the Pharmaceutical Industry in Norway (LMI), facilitated an interesting conversation between Caroline Stokke, Erik Flatmark and Thomas Birger Edén-Jensen, and professor Jan Bjaalie summarised it very well: 'In making the impossible possible, you have to build on excellent science and real people building partnerships'   We look forward to continued collaboration with new connections and partners in Belgium.

First day of Oslo Science City Arena - The Sensor Decade 2024! We have joined SINTEF in making this conference together with University of Oslo, NGI - Norwegian Geotechnical Institute, Startuplab, Electronic Coast Norway, industry partners KONGSBERG, TOMRA and Sony, and supporters Norges forskningsråd and Oslo kommune. We bring together the brightest minds in research and industry discussing the crucial role sensors already play in our society - and the fantastic opportunities ahead. Here in Oslo Science City more than 1000 researchers are working to develop knowledge, systems and technologies crucial for the digital transformation - such as sensor technology. The demand for research, expertise and capacity within fabrication and design of microchips and sensors will increase significantly in the coming years - essential technologies for clean and safe mobility, energy-efficient industry, protection of ecosystems and sustainable healthcare. Norway has a role to play in strengthening European competitiveness and supply security for microchip technologies, and we can achieve more if we share ideas, collaborate and innovate. The Sensor Decade 2024 gives a glimpse of the future - cutting edge research, world leading industrial players, promising sensor startups and up-and-coming students.

This week we welcomed Christian Rommel, Global Head of R&D and a delegation from Bayer Pharmaceuticals to experience the strong ecosystem of life science in Oslo, and explore new opportunities for collaboration. Oslo Science City is the epicenter for health and life sciences in Norway, hosting two-thirds of the country’s research activities in these sectors. Top researchers from University of Oslo, Oslo University Hospital and Oslo Cancer Cluster presented world leading research centres and projects within immunology, cell therapy, neuroscience and cardiovascular diseases, the new life science building and expansion plans, as well as an array of innovative startup companies. Oslo kommune with Vice Mayor for Culture and Business Anita Leirvik North hosted a beautiful lunch at Oslo City Hall, stating that the development of new knowledge based industries, like the Norwegian life science industry, is important for both Norway and Oslo.
