Ocean Tech Scaling Program

It is a well known fact that Norway is lagging behind in the race of creating growth companies. Our Ocean Tech Scaling Program, is designed to unlock rapid growth in companies.

The 2021 programme was in collaboration between BI Norwegian Business School, Kongsberg Innovasjon,  Stiftelsen Teknologformidling, Martin Trust Centre for MIT Entrepreneurship in Boston and GCE Ocean Technology. The programme is funded by Sparebanken Vest.

I would like to mention the new Scaleup programme by GCE Ocean Technology, BI, MIT and VIS. This was quite timely and proved to be very useful for OCTIO as we were planning our scale-up strategies for some of our services» Leon Løvheim, Octio. Participant of Ocean Tech Scaling Program 2018.
