TechThursday #1 – Norway’s Energy Position: Outlook and Drivers for Future Growth
Register now!
TechThursday is Energy Valley’s 2025 webinar series exploring key dimensions of the energy system – from production, storage and distribution to digital solutions and enabling technologies. We begin the series with a strategic high-level outlook:
Norway possesses world-class technologies and expertise. But what are the key drivers that will determine whether Team Norway succeeds in positioning itself and exporting energy technology in a rapidly evolving global system?
In this first webinar, we hear from three central actors – Statkraft, Equinor and DNV – all of whom work actively with scenario-based energy analysis. They will share insights into how the energy system is evolving and what it will take for Norway to build competitive strength in the global energy transition.
Welcome to TechThursday #1 – a platform for insight, discussion and strategic dialogue on the future of the energy industry.
