Why the US market?
The United States stands at the forefront of health innovation, presenting immense opportunities. However, navigating this dynamic landscape requires strategic insights and support. For this reason, we believe that an USA Export Group will be highly beneficial to the Norwegian health eco-system and its ambitious export goals.
This USA Export Resource Group builds upon the work the 4 Norwegian health clusters, Oslo Science Cluster, Norwegian Smart Care Cluster, Life Science Cluster and Norway Health Tech started more than 2 years ago. As part of a project financed by former Viken Fylkeskommune, the first-ever collaboration amongst Norway’s health clusters, was dedicated to empowering Norwegian companies in their journey to the U.S. market.
A road map for supporting Norwegian companies entering the US market was a specific result of this project.
We believe that establishing a USA Export Resource Group is an important next step when bringing more Norwegian innovation to the world’s leading health market.
About Export Resource Groups
The members of each Export Resource Group meet regularly to receive and give advice, provide input, share networks, competence, tips, and information about how to enter and expand in the US. The overarching goal is a stronger value creation for the Norwegian health tech industry overall. Aligned with the Norwegian government’s export goals for the health industry, Norway Health Tech believes that fostering closer collaboration among companies targeting the same market is a key factor for success.
All Resource Groups are led by the industry and external experts are invited to join the meetings to provide insights and share knowledge about selected topics.
