blooming and buzzing!
What now? How can we take the
Norwegian startup-scene to the next
level?
10. • The Norwegian tech
startup scene is
immature compared
to the other nordic
countries
• Few international
investors compared
with the rest of the
Nordics
• There is a huge
potential, highly
skilled entrepreneurs
and high quality
startups…..
