In attendance was Tor Andre Ljosland, high-level politician for Vestland County Council, who led in the ribbon-cutting ceremony. In addition, speeches were given by heads of industry clusters and initiatives, including NCE Seafood Innovation, GCE Ocean Technology and the Havbyen Bergen.
Greater Bergen has long served as a key hub for the ocean industries. Its long history in many of these key sectors has cultivated highly developed knowledgebases, networks, and value chains.
The incubator is the result of cross-industrial collaboration. Key partners for the incubator include VIS, Connect Vest and Ocean Innovation Norwegian Catapult Centre, along with industry clusters NCE Seafood Innovation, GCE Ocean Technology and NOSCA Clean Oceans.
