Co-Create Connects Entrepreneurial Students Across Oslo Universities
Backed by Innovation Norway, we create a space where students can explore their entrepreneurial potential and form cross-disciplinary teams. We welcome all students from BI, Kristiania, OsloMet and UiO.
Our programme is targeted towards those of you that would like to explore entrepreneurship, and would like to meet other like minded people. We start off with design thinking, giving you the framework to test out your ideas. Then we hold a variety of lectures and social events where you can dig deeper into topics spanning from effectuation, team composition, and funding.
We post our upcoming events at Instagram and LinkedIn so that you can stay updated on our activities.
Co-Create Activities
Hackathon Weekend 2026
This march we gathered 80 students across the Oslo Universities at The Village at BI. The students worked intensively from Friday to Sunday, where they found their teams and created solutions in just 48 hours.
In this hackathon we focused heavily on team merging and design thinking. The students were given the framework to start with a problem, and had to shift their minds to focus on the problem before building a solution. We saw a clear learning curve where the students understood the value in truly understanding the user needs over building the most impressive technical solution.
Big congratulations to the Calm Tech winners Clear Minds, we are very excited to see how you evolve your solution further!
Co-Create STUD-ENT 2026
Every year Innovation Norway grants 1 million NOK to student companies through the STUD-ENT grant.
This year 7 startups got the grant in Oslo, and we are very proud to say that 4 of these companies have been in the Co-Create programme. Meaning that more than half of Oslo's recipients this year have been part of Co-Create at some point!
This is what Co-Create is all about, giving early-stage student founders the tools, network, and confidence to turn their ideas into real ventures. Seeing them go on to earn this kind of recognition means everything to us.
A huge congratulations to Co-Creators Outrun, NiU Sleep, Staaltro and Juridex, and to all other Oslo recipients. Oslo's student startup scene has never been stronger!
