Published by Oslo Business Region, 03 September 2020

Startups and scaleups in Oslo are dependent on skilled workers to scale their companies. Many need to recruit internationally to get a hold of the right expertise. When recruiting, however, they often find that Oslo is not well known outside of the Nordics. To build a stronger position and compete globally, Oslo employers need to work together. Oslo Business Region collaborates with industry clusters, networks and startups/scaleups to attract and retain skilled international talent, mainly within tech and IT.

What we do:

  • International branding
  • Meeting places and events for startups and internationals
  • Inclusion and diversity
  • Collaboration & networks
