Doing business in Norway

Norway is a safe and simple country to do business in. The World Bank ranks Norway among the top ten countries for "Ease of Doing Business," - a position Norway has held for several years.


Norway has great credibility in technology, innovation, and skill development. Our population of 5.4 million is modest in size, but our purchasing power is comparable with larger economies due to our high standard of living and evenly distributed wealth. Norway is also one of the world's most digitized countries, and the understanding of language is good. Almost all Norwegians speak English fluently. Many also speak French and German.
