Innovation Norway Silicon Valley
From September through December 2023, I had the opportunity to go to Silicon Valley as a part of an internship with Innovation Norway at Nordic Innovation House in Palo Alto, CA. Here you'll find some details about the work I did during my stay.
My time in SF
Exploring the tech capital of the world, I was able to take a deep dive, and study entrepreneurship and innovation from its core.
I worked on a variety of different projects and programs. I helped out with the Fundraising in the US program, collaborating with partners from AlchemistX, MIT Entrepreneurship, and Storm Ventures, where I got key insights and was able to attend Techcrunch Disrupt 2023. I coded. I analyzed. I networked, I networked, and I networked some more. In the final stretch of my internship, I took lead on a project to start creating a startup guideline for setting up business in California. This was a great learning experience, both for content and project management.
I learnt a bunch. Here's some insight into my time in California!
