A Collaborative Initiative for Health Export Growth

HealthCatalyst comprising Norway Health Tech, Oslo Cancer Cluster, Validé (Norwegian Smart Care Cluster), and The Life Science Cluster work together with Innovation Norway and the rest of team Norway to implement the Norwegian government’s health initiative in Germany under the national export reform program, The Whole of Norway Exports.

Germany has been identified as a priority market for Norwegian health technology companies seeking to scale their international presence. This initiative will concentrate on a curated group of companies with established export revenues and strong potential for growth in Germany. These companies, collectively referred to as the landslagsliste by Innovation Norway, will receive targeted support to strengthen their market position and accelerate export expansion.

Targeted Support for Norwegian Companies

Building on this input HealthCatalyst in collaboration with Innovation Norway, the embassy and Team Norway in Germany have launched several initiatives in 2025. For details see here!
