Energy, property, mobility: Antler to focus on industries with high potential for innovation in Norway

Three industries with high potential for innovation in Norway

Norway has proven to be a welcoming market for innovative technologies such as electrical vehicles. The country is not only an efficient test market but the startup ecosystem has been growing rapidly in recent years and now is booming with entrepreneurs ready to build global businesses.

The Antler team in Oslo has identified three verticals ripe with potential for disruption in the upcoming years in Norway: energy, property, and mobility.

Energy

Norway has one of the most electricity-intensive energy systems in the world. There are major opportunities to disrupt energy production, storage, distribution, and optimized usage using the latest technologies.

Property

Due to the increasing population, low unemployment rate and high purchasing power, real estate development is booming in Oslo. The recent availability of relevant data in combination with forward-leaning property developers has led to a fast-growing PropTech environment.

Mobility

With technological advancements such as IoT, 5G, and automation, there are now growing opportunities to disrupt the whole transportation and telecommunication ecosystems from micro-mobility to shipping and communications. Norway has already proven itself as a pioneer in the early adoption of new mobility technologies such as electric vehicles.

Partnerships with industry experts to offer a major advantage for future founders

Founders from the Oslo cohort benefit from exclusive insights from industry and academic partners. The partners help founders to identify market opportunities and to build and develop their ideas using real-world data. These partnerships also play a key role in supporting founders in their idea validation process.
