2 AGENDA Oslo Cancer Cluster Area of successful infrastructure Example immuno-oncology Area of potential Example precision medicine SIDE 2 DATO XX.XX.XXXX

3 OSLO CANCER CLUSTER COVERING THE ENTIRE VALUE CHAIN Oncology focused research and industry cluster dedicated to accelerate the development of new treatments and diagnostics 70 members covering the entire value chain: academic and clinical centers, start-ups and SMEs, international Pharma, TTOs, Biobanks and service providers Focus on collaboration, partnering and network building, innovation and capital development

4 OVER 80 YEARS DEDICATED TO CANCER Norwegian Radium Hospital 1932 Norwegian Cancer Registry 1952 Institute for Cancer Research 1953 Norwegian Radium Hospital Research Foundation 1986 Oslo Cancer Cluster 2006 NCE Status for Oslo Cancer Cluster 2007 Oslo Cancer Cluster Innovation Park & Oslo Cancer Cluster Incubator 2015

5 INFRASTRUCTURE TO SUPPORT GROWTH Radium Cancer Hospital Pathology /Digital Pathology Institute for Cancer Research National Cancer Registry Oslo Cancer Cluster Incubator Ullern High School

6 DESIGNED TO FIT THE SPECIALIZED NEEDS OF ONCOLOGY R&D AND BD

7 TRACK RECORD FOR SUCCESSFUL TRANSLATION FROM BECH TO BEDSIDE Discovery Preclinical Phase I Phase 2 Phase 3

8 OPPORTUNITY FOR VALUE CREATION ALGETA FROM $127M TO $2.9B IN 7 YEARS

9 IMMUNO - ONCOLOGY

10 NORWAY HAS LONG HISTORY IN CANCER IMMUNOTHERAPY RESEARCH Steinar Aamdal, Prof. MD, Ph.D. Head of Section Radium Hospital, OUS

11 AND IS IN FOREFRONT IN NEW CANCER IMMUNOTHERAPY RESEARCH Steinar Aamdal, Prof. MD, Ph.D. Head of Section Radium Hospital, OUS

12 NORWEGIAN IMMUNO-ONCOLOGY CONSORTIUM Scientific strength in oncology and immunology Several R&D projects and ongoing clinical trials (investigator & company initiated) Specific clinical trial competence & infrastructure Collaboration with international partners

13 IMMUNO ONCOLOGY INFRASTRUCTURE - IMPORTANT TO CREATE SUCCESSFULL COMPANIES Ultimovacs Dept. of Cellular Therapy Targovax

14 A UNIQUE BASE TO BUILD FUTURE COMPANIES ON Mario Sznol, MD,PhD, Yale Cancer Center; I was very impressed with both the very high level of clinical practice and the immunology science. I was somewhat envious of the clinical translational scientists in your group, particularly in immunology, and wish we had similar resources here Raj Parekh, General Partner, Advent Venture, London; I applaud what you are achieving in Oslo, very high quality science and medicine focused in oncology, which bodes well for the creation and growth of outstanding new Companies.

15 NORWAY A POTENTIAL TESTBED FOR CANCER PRECISION MEDICINE One health provider and lifetime individual ID numbers Little population mobility National clinical annotated biobanks Including National Genomics consortium Cancer register over 60 years All cancers registered by law Norway positioned to be a global testbed for personalized medicine

16 CANCER PRECISION MEDICINE A FIELD IN NEED OF INFRASTRUCTURE Register development Register development to enable prospective use, (e.g. data structure, improved biobanks ++) New equipment Physical infrastructure at hospitals and labs (e. g. sequensing ++) Information accessability Communication interfaces (e.g. industry, register, biobank, SLV etc) International infrastructure; International projects to address knowledge gaps (e.g. big data ++)

17 INTERNATIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE CANCER REGISTRY TEAMS UP WITH WORLD FASTEST COMPUTER?

18 DARE TO THINK BIG PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE CREATES THE FUTURE

19 PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE - TO DEVELOP NATIONAL COMPETETIVE ADVANTAGES

20 PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE DARE TO THINK BIG Public infrastructure developed Norway to the forefront in immuno oncology Norway has a unique position to be world leading in precision medicine Infrastructure should aim to strenghten national competetive advantages
