Unlock Growth in Your Company

It is a well known fact that Norway is lagging behind in the race of creating growth companies. Our scaleup programme 100Scalups, is designed to unlock rapid growth in companies.

This article was first published 17 January 2020.

The second cohort of our growth programme 100scaleups is now concluded and eight companies participated ; among them our member companies Unitech Offshore, Metas, Imenco and Aquafarm Equipment.

We are now recruiting companies for the third edition of the 100scaleups with start up after summer of 2020. Would you like to join?

I would like to mention the new Scaleup programme by GCE Ocean Technology, BI, MIT and VIS. This was quite timely and proved to be very useful for OCTIO as we were planning our scale-up strategies for some of our services» Leon Løvheim, Octio. Participant of 100scalups2018.
