About the project
The programme aims to strengthen the potential of health technology companies to scale solutions that address the needs of the healthcare sector, by better equipping them to engage with public procurers—both nationally and internationally.
Mål
Innovation Norway and HealthCatalyst are offering a new competence programme for health companies looking to scale their solutions.
To meet the needs of the healthcare sector, faster development and implementation of user-driven, scalable and technology-based solutions are required—both for the Norwegian market and with potential for international growth.
The programme aims to provide companies with practical knowledge and access to networks that will support their continued development. Through the programme, companies will receive individually tailored guidance and be connected to relevant environments with the right expertise for their needs. There will also be opportunities for experience sharing with other health companies at a similar stage.
Solutions focused on workforce-saving innovations in the health and care sector will be prioritised.
Objectives
The programme targets health companies across the country that:
- Have developed and tested a solution
- Have completed (or are in the final phase of) a development project
- Face challenges related to scaling, market access or public procurement
- Have ambitions for further growth, nationally and/or internationally
Aktiviteter
The programme will be tailored to the needs of the selected companies (the themes for the sessions/modules will be adjusted accordingly), and speakers will be invited based on the topics and modules chosen. Different stakeholders from the ecosystem will be invited to participate in the various sessions. The programme will include both digital and in-person sessions.
Practical information
The programme is free of charge for participating companies, but participation in all sessions is required.
There is capacity for 6–8 companies, and HealthCatalyst, together with Innovation Norway, will select a group with overlapping needs.
A similar programme is planned for autumn 2026.
Duration: March–June 2026 + August–December 2026
