The popular event is a co-creation between national and local political parties, NGO's, universities, research institutions, private companies, and the Municipality of Arendal and takes place every year in mid-August. For 5 days, the city of Arendal is filled with an interesting and educational variety of exhibitions and events.
This year, we opened the doors to our headquarters for a series of events held from the 11th to the 13th of August. Along with our portfolio companies and partners, we invited politicians and experts in their fields to take part in various debates focused on our areas of investment.
