Norge har noen av verdens sterkeste kompetanse- og teknologimiljøer innen energi. 18. november samler vi igjen aktører fra hele energisektoren for å styrke samarbeid, dele kunnskap og utforske nye mul
Our first joint cluster meeting in Stavanger drew over 100 participants last year.
Building on this success, we are now inviting you to a new gathering, this time at Gardermoen, where we have put together a compact and eventful program so that even participants traveling from far away can attend without having to stay overnight.
The agenda includes technical presentations, strategic discussions, and new networking opportunities for the people and companies that will shape the energy sector of the future.
We will also learn more about the work being done by Energy Cluster Norway (ECN) —our new national cluster alliance that is beginning to take shape.
About Energy Cluster Norway (ECN)
Energy Cluster Norway is a national cluster alliance established by three leading Norwegian energy clusters: GCE Ocean Technology, Energy Transition Norway (ETN), and Energy Valley. Through ECN, we bring together networks, expertise, and influence on a common platform. The goal is to strengthen collaboration across the energy sector, create new opportunities for members, and give Norwegian energy communities a stronger voice both nationally and internationally.
As a member of one of the three clusters, you are automatically part of the alliance. The national cluster gathering is an opportunity to learn about the possibilities this offers.
