Arendalsuka is Norway’s largest political meeting place, and a number of our 250 member companies will take part. Check out the guide below to get up to speed on patron-level member company events.
Wednesday, August 14, 15:40 – 16:50
As patients, our needs are simple. We want to be well and, when we get sick, we want the best treatment so we get better as soon as possible, get home to our families and lead a good life with the right support.
How, then, can Norwegian patients benefit by a closer partnership between healthcare authorities and healthcare innovators? What are the key opportunities and obstacles to growing a dynamic, internationally oriented industrial base similar to those our Nordic neighbors have?
With the recent watershed release of the Norwegian government’s ambitious Health Industry whitepaper, there has never been a better opportunity to turn Norwegian healthcare visions into reality. Patients, providers, authorities and industry all stand to benefit – IF cooperation expands considerably.
Join political representatives and healthcare industry leaders for an honest conversation on building a viable healthcare industry for us all!
The meeting will be hosted in English to accommodate our international directors and guests. Contributing partners include AbbVie, Amgen, Biogen, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Eli Lilly, GE Healthcare, GlaxoSmithKline, Janssen, MSD, Pfizer, and Roche. Additional guest speakers to be announced.

As patients, we use their medicines, abide by their guidelines and fully expect their services to improve and prolong our lives. But do we really know the PEOPLE that lead our healthcare providers? Are these organizations to be trusted? Who, when and how do they make lifesaving decisions? Are patient needs prioritized above all else?
Please join us for a unique opportunity to speak one-on-one with directors from top companies AbbVie, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Capgemini, GE Healthcare, MSD, Pfizer, Roche . Additional leader participants will be announced.
Our rapid-pace program will provide a unique opportunity for personal conversations with attending leaders. Please join us – and have your questions ready!

Monday, August 12, 17:00 – 18:00 (US Embassy event in cooperation with AmCham, ANSA, and Akademikerne)
Er norsk næringsliv redd for å ansette norske studenter med utenlandsk utdanning? Eller tror arbeidsgivere at studentene fra USA ikke har lært like mye som de som går på NTNU? Hva med søkerens tilleggskompetanse fra utenlandsopphold – teller det positivt?
I følge Bolognaprosessen skal minst 20 prosent studere i utlandet innen 2020, men dagens tall ligger rundt 16 prosent. Noen norske politikere har uttrykt ønske om det bør blir obligatorisk å studere i utlandet, men henger dette sammen med hva arbeidslivet søker?
Norske arbeidsgivere sier de ønsker ansatte med internasjonal erfaring og utdanning. Likevel virker det som norske nyutdannede arbeidssøkere, med utdanning fra utlandet, ikke er like ettertraktet?
Den Amerikanske Ambassaden i Oslo samarbeider med ANSA (Association of Norwegian Students Abroad), American Chamber of Commerce (AMCHAM) og Akademikerne for denne spennende debatten om hva norske studenter med internasjonal utdanning møter når de skal inn i arbeidslivet.
Vi stiller spørsmålene:
– Hvorfor skriver så få arbeidsgivere at internasjonal utdanning er en ønsket kvalifikasjon i sine utlysninger?
– Hva kan norsk næringsliv gjøre for å verdsette jobbsøkere med internasjonal utdanning i ansettelseprosesser?
Medvirkende:
– Jan Grønbech, Country Director, Google Norway
– Maalfrid Brath, Managing Director, ManpowerGroup Norway
– Mari Sundli Tveit, Direktør Politikk, Næringslivets Hovedorganisasjon (NHO)
– Hanna Flood, President, ANSA (Association of Norwegian Students Abroad)
