The startup ecosystem consists of a wide range of different communities, both in terms of industry focus and development level. From the earliest ideation process to later stage growth mechanics, Oslo has got you covered.
Why start a business in Oslo?
In 2013, The Economist stated that the Nordic region is becoming a hothouse of entrepreneurship. 15 000 new companies are established every year in Oslo, and there is room for more. Collaboration is our way of competing, and we see various co-working and innovation hubs popping up all over, with Mesh, 657 Oslo, Startup Lab, The Factory, SoCentral, Oslo Cancer Cluster, Bitraf, House of Nerds and others taking the lead.
