Got a project to scale?

Our good friends in Bergen - GCE Ocean Technology - has a fantastic growth programme. It was recently presented at this year’s Vestlandskonferansen in Bergen, and it could be your next step.

GCE Ocean Technology, in collaboration with ScalingLab and supported by Agenda Vestlandet, offers a cross-sector growth programme for ambitious companies based in Western and Southern Norway.

The goal is simple: to help promising companies move forward – faster.

Target group

The programme is open to companies across industries. What we’re looking for is a concrete project you’re ready to develop – and the drive and capacity to take it further.

Over the course of five intensive sessions from October to February – including one week at MIT in Boston – you’ll gain tools, insights, and expert support to strengthen your growth strategy.

Work with seasoned serial-entrepreneurs

You’ll work closely with experienced mentors and professionals from MIT, BI, and Norwegian industry, and get access to methods and perspectives from some of the world’s leading innovation environments.

What does it Cost?

Thanks to support from Agenda Vestlandet, most of the program is covered.

Participation requires only a company fee (starting at NOK 75,000, depending on company size) and travel/accommodation costs for the Boston trip.
