The Explorer
Norway’s official marketplace for green technology.
The Explorer is a free matchmaking service for connecting global challenges with green solutions. It is Norway’s official marketplace for green technology.
“The world is facing increasing economic, social and environmental challenges,” says Helene Friis, Head of Norway’s The Explorer. “But, at the same time, the world is full of companies with more advanced technology than ever before.”
“What we need, is a tool to match the challenges with the companies that can solve them. That is why we created The Explorer,” says Friis.
How The Explorer works
The Explorer is an initiative of the Norwegian government and owes much of its structure to the Global Opportunity Explorer.
“Norway is a pioneer in sustainability. The country is taking an active role in helping the world to achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals,” says Friis.
“The Explorer will give the entire world access to vetted, high-quality technology from Norway.”
