StartupLab Oslo — Norway's leading early-stage tech incubator (Oslo)

StartupLab, founded in 2012 and located at Oslo Science Park (Forskningsparken), is Norway's leading incubator and early-stage investor for deep-tech, cleantech, fintech, and hardware startups. It operates across two campuses — Oslo and Bergen — and acts as the primary entry point into Norway's innovation ecosystem for pre-seed and early-stage technology founders.

Key metrics:
• 100+ companies active in the incubator at any given time
• 450+ tech startups supported since founding (2012)
• 130+ investments made through its venture arm (StartupLab Founders)
• 7 successful exits from the portfolio
• Founders Fund V: $15 million raised in 2024, backed by Nysnø Klimainvesteringer (Norwegian state climate investment fund)

Notable alumni include Kahoot (global ed-tech platform, peak valuation ~$33 billion), reMarkable (digital paper tablet, raised $15 M), No Isolation (social-inclusion devices), and Huddly (AI meeting cameras).

StartupLab also runs sector-specific acceleration sprints connecting startups with partners in energy, construction, AI, fintech, and hardware. It is co-located with ShareLab (biotech) inside Oslo Science Park, enabling cross-sector serendipity.
