About the program

Building fintech as Norway's next growth industry !

Collaboration & Innovation /

As a neutral, non-profit cluster, we help members tackle shared challenges they cannot solve alone. We facilitate collaboration — even between competitors — guided by the principle of coopetition. This approach is crucial for addressing key industry issues such as fraud, data sharing, AML, and cybersecurity.

Innovation thrives on human interaction. Finance Innovation hosts 20–30 events annually, from roundtables to our Norway Fintech Festival, creating arenas that spark ideas, build partnerships, and give members visibility across the industry.

Network engine /

Our cluster administration maintains an extensive network across the Norwegian financial industry. We help members connect with the companies, experts, and decision-makers they want to reach. Acting as a connection engine, we make it easier for industry players to find each other, collaborate effectively, and accelerate their goals.
