Deep Tech Island
Deep Tech Island — The Foundry, Mandal
Norway has no shortage of technical talent, industrial know-how, or strategic relevance. What we need now is the ambition, speed, and capital discipline to turn pur legacy into globally important companies solving the most urgent problems.
Deep Tech Island is an afternoon for those, funders, founders and operators who believe Norway should do more than consume the next technology wave — we should build it.
The State of Norwegian Deep Tech
Where Norway stands, where we are underperforming, and where the biggest opportunities are hiding.
A new European builder mindset
A sharper way of building deep tech: faster iteration, stronger narrative, higher ambition, and commercial urgency from day one. Built from the next generation founder clusters.
Space — The Next Frontier
Norway already has the assets. The question is whether we can turn space infrastructure, data, and access into real company creation.
Funding Norway’s Next Defence Stack
Resilience is no longer theoretical. Norway needs founders, capital, and industry pulling together to build the capabilities we cannot afford to outsource.
What now, Norway?
A clear call to action: less talking, more building.
Join us at The Foundry in Mandal for three focused hours with the people shaping Norway’s role in deep tech, space, defence, and strategic technology. If you want to see what incredible things already being build in Norway, and what we should be known for next, this is the room.
Deep Tech Island is sponsored by Nordea and Future Defence Industry South.
