The World Bank has ranked Norway among the top performers in the ease of doing business. The Norwegian economy is strong, open and globally integrated with a high level of trade and foreign investments, and a favourable international competitiveness.

There are many sound business reasons for investing in the Oslo region, but equally strong are the incentives to experience a quality of life unparalleled in many other European cities. With a unique blend of vibrant big city life and recreational opportunities, Oslo makes a great place to both work and live.

Norway and the Oslo region are highly committed to the European Union’s Lisbon Strategy of becoming the world’s most competitive and knowledge-based economy.
