It’s all about equal access
It all began with a napkin
“I asked my good friend who is a mechanical engineer why there was no insulin pen on the market that people on an average income could afford. He had been wondering about the same thing, and then he drew the solution for me on a napkin. That was the beginning of GO-Pen.

Ole has lived and travelled in low-income countries and seen the injustice of inadequate access to healthcare. Before establishing GO-Pen he headed up global sustainability in a large pharmaceutical company and analysed the challenges behind unequal access to healthcare. He wanted to change this. In collaboration with his long-time friend and mechanical engineer, Michael Ejstrup Hansen he founded GO-Pen ApS to change the game and create a modern insulin pen that is affordable to all.
