Norway’s official innovation cluster on smarter cities and communities drives societal change and business development across sectors and borders.

A hub for year-round activities, the Smart City Innovation Cluster has academic institutions, start-ups, international corporations and public sector players on its member list. This cross-sector collaboration drives innovation, business development and societal improvements. Working in concert, the cluster connects municipalities with the vendor side, and vice-versa.

About us 2

Our ecosystem

The Nordic Edge ecosystem is fundamental to all our activities on a local, nation and international level. Aimed at strengthening our cluster member’s access to facilities, partners and the international market, the ecosystem hosts the necessary tools to accelerate growth.

Together with our cluster members and associated partners Nordic Edge initiates projects, facilitates pilots, run research studies, hosts the secretariat for the Norwegian network of 14 Smart Cities, is the organiser of Nordic Edge Expo, the leading Smart City conference and exhibition in the Nordics and was central in developing and implementing the national Norwegian Road Map on smarter, more sustainable cities and communities.

Sustainability is at the core of everything we do. The cluster’s four focus areas transcend directly into activities across the Nordic Edge organisation:

  • Active Citizenship & KnowHow
  • On the Move
  • Urban Energy
  • Places & Spaces
