Oslo builds companies the world notices.
In our city, the C-suite is just a phone call away, collaboration trumps hierarchy, and important meetings are separated by a ten minute walk. Local founders enjoy generous early-stage funding and numerous incubators. Established businesses benefit from economic stability and an industrial footprint ideal for testing the infrastructure of the future. Thinking internationally is a given from day one.
A natural gateway.
Oslo is a natural gateway to the rest of the country, with portfolio companies based in the capital accounting for 66% of all venture capital invested in Norway. The city has produced 12 unicorns to date (a $1 billion valuation or an exit), and the combined enterprise value of Norwegian VC-backed startups founded since 1990 is almost $60 billion.
