How quickly can your startup grow, and what exactly does "fast" look like on a global scale? In this dynamic and insightful session, seasoned seed investor and entrepreneur Jørn Haanæs meets Innovation Dock’s Claudine Ang to dive deep into the realities of international expansion for Norwegian startups.
Together, they’ll tackle critical questions like: What characteristics make a founder successful when taking their company to the global stage? Does the startup environment in Norway – with its tax regime and grant funding amongst others - incentivise investment into startups, and the right startups? And how do these compare with other systems in Europe?
The conversation will provide a comprehensive look at what it takes to grow a startup quickly on a global scale, and whether Norway’s ecosystem is primed to foster international success.
