B2B prospect lists for Norway.

01  The Norwegian market

Fifteen counties, one long coastline

Since 1 January 2024 Norway has been divided into 15 counties (fylker): Oslo, Akershus, Østfold, Buskerud, Innlandet, Vestfold, Telemark, Agder, Rogaland, Vestland, Møre og Romsdal, Trøndelag, Nordland, Troms and Finnmark. The current map came from splitting Viken into Østfold, Akershus and Buskerud, Vestfold og Telemark into Vestfold and Telemark, and Troms og Finnmark into Troms and Finnmark. A prospect list can be scoped to one county, several neighbouring counties or the whole country.

Energy and environmental technology: oil, gas and hydropower

Crude oil and natural gas made up 57% of the value of Norway's goods exports in 2025, according to Statistics Norway (SSB). Total petroleum production was about 239.2 million standard cubic metres of oil equivalent, according to the government's petroleum information service. On land, the power system runs on water. Of the 161.8 TWh of electricity produced in 2025, 145.5 TWh came from hydropower and 13.9 TWh from wind. Vestland was the largest producing county, at 37.4 TWh, followed by Rogaland, Nordland and Agder. Norway was a net exporter of electricity in 2025, exporting 34.3 TWh and importing 11.5 TWh.

Industrial and manufacturing: maritime, systems and process industry

Outside petroleum, Norway's 2025 goods exports included NOK 201.6 billion of machinery and other equipment, NOK 105.8 billion of basic metals and NOK 91.0 billion of basic chemicals, chemical and mineral products (SSB national accounts). The national cluster programme Norwegian Innovation Clusters, run by Innovation Norway, maps where that industry concentrates. GCE Blue Maritime Cluster around Ålesund in Møre og Romsdal covers the design, construction, equipment and operation of advanced vessels, and gained Global Centre of Expertise status in 2014. The Kongsberg Technology Cluster in Buskerud started in 2006 and spans subsea, energy, maritime, defence, automotive and aerospace. NCE Manufacturing at Raufoss in Innlandet groups 60 industrial companies with about 4,000 employees around lightweight materials and automated production. In Agder, the Eyde cluster, set up in 2007, brings together 16 core process-industry companies and 52 competence providers, and GCE NODE in southern Norway counts more than 120 companies supplying oil and gas, offshore, energy and maritime industries.

Pharma and life sciences: three national clusters

The same national programme includes Oslo Cancer Cluster, an oncology research and industry cluster whose members range from university hospitals and research centres to start-ups, biotech companies, global pharmaceutical and technology companies and investors. It also includes NCE Norway Health Tech, which works on developing and industrialising health solutions, and The Life Science Cluster, a national network for health, medicine and the bio-based industries.

Food and agriculture: NOK 181.5 billion in seafood exports

Norway exported 2.8 million tonnes of seafood worth NOK 181.5 billion in 2025, according to the Norwegian Seafood Council, with salmon alone accounting for NOK 124.7 billion. According to the Directorate of Fisheries, Nordland sold 360,192 tonnes of farmed salmon in 2024, followed by Trøndelag (324,740 tonnes), Vestland (304,957 tonnes) and Troms (200,830 tonnes). Food products, beverages and tobacco added NOK 98.3 billion to goods exports in 2025.

How a Norwegian list is built
