Norway is not just oil and salmon (which, by the way, is processed in massive amounts abroad – fact: around 240,000 tons of Norwegian salmon are processed in foreign facilities every year, worth over €1.4 billion!)
It’s also a country heavily investing in digitalization and new technologies. From fintech (Vipps, DNB Digital), to healthtech, and govtech – every sector is undergoing a digital transformation.
👉 Where are the biggest opportunities for foreign companies?
✅ IT outsourcing – Norwegians are open to working with external providers if they meet high quality standards
✅ Cybersecurity – there’s growing demand for data and infrastructure protection
✅ AI and machine learning – there’s still a shortage of specialists in Norway, while demand is rising

That said, the market is demanding – Norwegians value simplicity, transparency, and reliability. Building relationships and understanding their business culture is key.
Norway can be a challenging but very rewarding partner in the IT sector – especially if you focus on niche services or collaboration with local start-ups.
