Hjerterom: Innovation in Dental Health
About the event
#Hjerterom is a meeting arena in Bergen for stakeholders interested in research, innovation, and sustainability within the health sector. The aim is to promote public–private collaboration and accelerate the pace of innovation in Health City Bergen. The initiative is organised by Eitri Center for Health Innovation, Norway Health Tech, Bouvet ASA, and the Bergen Chamber of Commerce.
Description
What happens at #Hjerterom?
The events explore topics such as innovation and collaboration in the health sector, how to boost creative capacity, and barriers to adopting new technology in healthcare.
Each gathering offers free seminars featuring expert speakers and is designed for participants from industry, research, and the health and care services.
Why is this important?
Regional health and care services face major challenges related to capacity, technological utilisation, and cross-sector collaboration. Hjerterom helps create meeting arenas where different stakeholders can connect, share insights, and develop solutions together.
