Women in Life Science Norway
Because every ceiling reached becomes a new floor
Join the Network & the Movement
Who Is Wild Norway?
Wild Norway is a professional network built to change who leads, who gets funded, & what gets built across Norway’s health and life science value chain.
Health outcomes are shaped long before a patient enters a clinic. They are shaped in boardrooms, funding decisions, research priorities, and leadership pipelines. When women are underrepresented in those spaces, their health is under-researched, underfunded, and remains misunderstood.
This is how leadership becomes health - not just for women, but for an entire society. Barriers are not individual. They are structural. And networks, sponsors, and role models are among the most powerful tools women have to navigate them.
We connect women to the rooms where decisions are made and make sure they are not walking in alone. Our male Ambassadors actively open doors, challenge bias, and drive real change from the inside.
Together, we work across four pillars: professional development, advocacy, networking, and visibility. From individual growth to systemic shift.
Women ready to grow, lead, and build: Join Us.
Men ready be the change: Join Us.
Sponsors ready to shape the future of health and society: Join Us.
“Fight for the things that you care about. But do it in a way that will lead others to join you.”
— Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Former Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States
