The heart of Nordic innovation

Oslo Innovation Week is an umbrella event uniting 80+ events driven by Norwegian and international incubators, investors, and the startup ecosystem highlighting actual solutions to the Sustainable Development Goals.

Arendalsuka is the largest political gathering in Norway held annually since 2012. The event’s mission is clear: strengthen the belief in political empowerment and democracy through open debate and involvement.

Arendalsuka is the result of co-creation between national and local political parties, NGO’s, universities, research institutions, private companies and the Municipality of Arendal.
