Are you attending the Vestland Conference this year?

If so, you will hear from Bill Aulet and Devon Sherman Daley from MIT Martin Trust Center for Entrepreneurship, who lead the Boston module in our growth program – which you and your company can now apply to join.
Our CEO, Owe Hagesæther, will also be on stage to share how we have helped over 50 companies with their growth strategies.
The core philosophy is "simple": grow with intention, understand your end user, and build on strong fundamentals.
As Professor Bill Aulet puts it, "Nail it before you scale it."
What to Expect from the Growth Program
The program runs over several months, with sessions in Bergen, Oslo, and an immersive week at the Martin Trust Center for Entrepreneurship in Boston.
Participants gain access to world-class expertise, tailored mentorship, and a structured roadmap for business growth.
Experience from Past Participants
We recently wrapped up this year’s growth program in Bergen, where participants from Glex AS, Entail, and Framo shared how the program accelerated their development.
Former participant Inger Graves from Aanderaa by Xylem also reflected on how the program’s insights have shaped their business strategy and market positioning.
