Politics shaping the future of Norway

In an era where innovation drives progress and transition, Norway stands at a pivotal crossroad. The development of new and forward-facing businesses and industries are haltered by policies shaped for our traditional, sardine box economy of fish, oil and aluminum.  For several years, arrows have pointed upwards on some indicators: more people want to become entrepreneurs and more risk capital is available - yet we seem to be slowing down.The government  is working on a white paper on entrepreneurship and startups, and  a road map for the tech industry. We take this opportunity to gain inputs from countries with policies known to have fostered a thriving startup scene and an innovative tech industry, and discuss what the future holds for the Norwegian startup scene. What steps must be taken now to secure more Norwegian growth companies in the years ahead and what policies is needed to futureproof the Norwegian ecosystem?
