OPP Innovation Week aims to inspire people to explore the possibilities within innovation and entrepreneurship. During six days (25th to 30th September), scientists, entrepreneurs, representatives from industry, government officials and investors will participate in events related to innovation and entrepreneurship.
OPP, an umbrella organization, facilitates for the local organizers to create their own events during the week. Thus, the subject, time and venue is up to the organizers to decide, resulting in a wide range of events covering all kinds of interests.

Proud supporter
BTO is one of the initiators and is responsible for the coordination of OPP.
– We´re a proud supporter of the OPP initiative and we are looking forward to demonstrate how innovation contributes to value creation in our region. At BTO, we’re experiencing a record-breaking interest in our services from entrepreneurs and researchers with good and innovative ideas. OPP Innovation Week is an excellent opportunity to highlight these people and inspire others, says Anders Haugland, Managing Director in BTO.
– In BTO, we think it is of great importance for the region that research institutions, industry, government, investors and entrepreneurs meet and collaborate. Bergen is in a unique position to become the leading region within innovation and entrepreneurship, and OPP will contribute to create a competitive advantage for the region, Haugland continues.
Marineholmen and Mediekuben
In addition to supporting the project, BTO contributes with hosting several events during the week. One example is the excursion OPPlev Marineholmen (experience Marineholmen). At this event, participants will be guided through the exciting parts of Bergen’s innovation hotspot, Marineholmen, and participate in workshops, lectures and concerts.
OPP Innovation Week is also a great opportunity to invite to an officially opening of Mediekuben, our new incubator for media- and mediatech startups. Harald Schjelderup, City Manager of Bergen, will cut the ribbon. We have also invited international speakers to highlight the possibilities and challenges in the media industry. More information will come.
