The Prosperous Future of Norway
12.08.2026 kl. 14:00 - 17:00
Grandgården (Langbryggen 19)
Norway built its wealth on hard things. Hydropower. Oil and gas. Subsea engineering. Shipping. We know how to move atoms, not just bits, and we've been doing it at world-class level for a century.
That heritage is now our unfair advantage. The next wave of value isn't pure software. It's deep tech: semiconductors, robotics, industrial hardware, with AI layered on top. That's a game Norway is built to play.
But building hard things takes serious capital. If we want the next generation of industrial champions to be Norwegian owned, capital has to show up early and think bigger.
Join us for a conversation on what Norway does next, with the people building it and the people funding it.
