Advanced industry and materials
Agder has one of Norway’s strongest concentrations of process industry and advanced manufacturing. Global companies operate alongside specialised suppliers, technology businesses and strong research and development environments.
Opportunities include advanced materials, mineral-based value chains, low-emission production, industrial technology and circular use of resources.
Energy and digital infrastructure
Agder is one of Norway’s leading energy regions, with extensive renewable power production and important national and international energy infrastructure.
The region offers opportunities within digital infrastructure, energy storage, grid technology, flexibility solutions and energy-intensive industrial activity. Power availability and grid connection are assessed individually for each project.
Maritime, offshore and defence technologies
For more than five decades, companies in Agder have developed world-leading technology for the maritime and offshore industries. This expertise is increasingly applied in offshore wind, low-emission maritime solutions, defence and dual-use technologies.
The region offers globally experienced suppliers, engineering expertise, industrial facilities and access to the North Sea.
Circular industry and industrial symbiosis
Agder has strong ambitions for circular industrial development. Companies, industrial parks and public authorities are working together to identify opportunities for sharing energy, materials, infrastructure and resources.
This creates opportunities for businesses that can use industrial side streams, surplus heat, recycled materials or shared infrastructure.
Bioeconomy and natural resources
Forests, marine resources and established industrial expertise provide a foundation for sustainable bio-based production.
Opportunities include wood-based materials, bioenergy, resource-efficient production and new value chains based on renewable biological resources.
