Industry and Technology

Over the past two decades Norway has developed a thriving technology sector. The information and communications technology industry, for example, is now Norway’s second largest land-based industry by turnover. Other high-tech industries are also expanding in Norway, with pharmaceuticals, biotech, geo-services and alternative energy companies leading the way. Recent legislative and regulatory changes are bringing Norway increasingly in line with the EU. Some important differences remain, however, and they can lead to significant advantages for those doing business in Norway. It is also our experience that Norwegian technology assets are attractive to foreign buyers. The industry and technology team at BA-HR has a wealth of experience across the whole spectrum of business, from large-scale manufacturing and infrastructure projects, to the development of cutting-edge technologies. We can provide you not only with top quality legal advice, but with the international perspective and technical knowledge required to make sound commercial decisions.
