About us

BioTech North is an emerging biotechnology cluster of enterprises and R&D organizations, which cooperate closely with regional funding and development actors (triple helix). As bioactive molecules and compounds from Arctic marine resources form the basis of activities for the majority of the cluster members, BioTech North serves as a marine biotech cluster. The majority of BioTech North’s enterprises are active within life science applications and markets.

To date the cluster contains around thirty organizations from both the private and public sector. In 2010 the cluster got a secretariat (BioTech North Secretariat), which is established and administrated by the Troms Chamber of Commerce and partly financed by the regional development fund RDA –Tromsø.
