Get Norwegian businesses get to be with

Marianne Tonning Kinnari leader of green growth in Innovation Norway says there are only a handful of Norwegian companies that are joining the conference in Paris.

– These are companies that have a technology that is relevant to the green shift. Common to all is that they have a business model that focuses on sustainability.

She thinks it’s a unique opportunity for companies that are selected to participate in the summit.

– Here are the participants from around the world gathered. There are representatives from industry and government present, and it will be a unique opportunity to network, says Kinnari.

Bet international

She is supported by Torgeir Straand, who believe there is a potential for the technology his abroad, and look forward to meeting big companies he can collaborate with in the future.

– That was the message we got when Petroleum and Energy Tord Lien was visiting in September that it is important to get the message about the technology out of the technology park in Notodden, and out in the world.

Straand says it’s important to promote itself internationally since a increasing share of products from the company are sold abroad.

– We see that next year more than half of what we deliver is exported out of the country. Previously we delivered locally to the oil industry in Norway.

Better technology

The main reason why it becomes more export of technology from Telemark is quality, says Straand.

– We have simply been better, we have experience from Norway showing that it works locally and when we dare to take it out into the world. And we have already received orders from several companies.

Straand says Telemark Technologies has utilized the expertise of an oil industry in crisis.

– We use availability from the oil industry, to create new environmental technology that the world has not seen before. Ironically make people from the oil industry now technology to clean up after oil, concludes Straand.
