Bente Amundsen
As Partnerships Coordinator, Bente is the key link between Project MARCH and its partners. She is responsible for maintaining existing relationships and acquiring new collaborations to ensure sufficient funding for the development of the exoskeleton. As part of the Operations Department, she is also actively involved in organizing events and managing various organizational aspects of the team.
Her background in Human Movement Sciences, combined with her transition into Biomedical Engineering, led her to see Project MARCH as the perfect opportunity to explore the intersection of movement, medical innovation, and technology. What she enjoys most about her role is connecting with a wide range of companies, gaining insights into the business world, while also staying closely involved with the team to keep partners well-informed of the project’s progress.
Although she doesn’t have a technical role, Bente is eager to learn more about the exoskeleton and its development throughout the year. She values contributing to the development of this technology and making a difference for people who rely on wheelchairs.
