For the third destination in our Growth Tour we brought a Smart City Delegation to Copenhagen for go-to-market meetings and to attend Tech BBQ.
Nordic Edge is taking steps to increase the exposure of Norwegian smart city solutions in European countries through our initiative Growth Tour which brings delegation of Smart City start-ups, with ambitions of entering new markets, to different European cities.

“This is the second time we are arranging how to enter Denmark and participating in the Tech BBQ, and it’s amazing to see how the network has strengthened in just this year, both with people who can help with market entry and investors. It’s fantastic to see that the Danish ecosystem is cheering on and welcoming Norwegian companies.”
