Strategic European Gateway
Oslo's timezone (CET) enables seamless collaboration with both European and North American markets. The city offers excellent connectivity with direct flights to major global hubs, making it ideal for coordinating distributed teams and serving international clients.
Competitive Cost Structure
While Norway has a high cost of living, the productivity and quality of output often result in better value than lower-cost markets. Norwegian developers deliver high-quality code with fewer bugs, reducing long-term maintenance costs and technical debt.
Quality talent, stable environment, and global connectivity make Oslo a strategic choice for companies prioritizing sustainable growth.
