Why invest in health and Norway
The window to getting a head start in the Norwegian startup scene is closing. Investors should act now to take advantage.
Norway has huge potential across the health sector. As a nation, we're lucky to have great data, transparency, and trust. Couple that with a highly educated population producing gold standard R&D within several areas of health, and companies with competitive valuations, you have the ingredients for a growing ecosystem outputting high quality investment cases. Personally, I’m a believer and an active investor in the space!
