Special thanks to Aaron Gershenberg (SVB), Travis Hedge (SVB) and Yuri Milner, for your effort into making Norway Summit 2017 a huge success.
Norway Summit 2018 will be on June 5. Save the date!
Norway Summit 2017 will be explored the unknowns of our common future in light of technological innovation. What will the future look like? We know the buzzwords and we see progress in many areas, but what impact does the new technology have on us?
We had world-class keynote speakers and think-leaders enlighten us and help prepare business leaders, politicians and academics on the fore coming of the future.
The Norway Summit conference aims to create drive and innovation. We invite industry and commerce to a dialogue with top international and national business representatives and experts, premise providers and decision-makers.
