This is Vestlands innovation festival and platform for networking and sharing knowledge. OPP celebrates each year entrepreneurship together with several local partners to highlight their work on innovation. In short, OPP is gathering events from local innovative companies during these two weeks to focus on how innovation can look like in the region of Vestlandet.

We want to feature some of these events which are relevant for MediaFutures followers and supports:

PopOPP

Friday 19.09 kl. 16:30 – Saturday 20.09 kl. 00:00

Marineholmen

On Friday, September 19, students and young adults with drive and ideas will gather for a festival experience a little out of the ordinary. It’s about progress. About creating. About connecting to something bigger. What can you expect? Scenes. Flavors. Atmospheres. People you haven’t met before. Questions you haven’t asked yet. And hopefully a lot of answers.
