1 Coworking Spaces in Grimstad

About Grimstad

A small town in the Aust-Agder county of Norway, Grimstad is perched on the Skaggerak coast in the south between the towns of Arendal and Kristiansand. It has a small population of only 22,692 residents, so you will have plenty of opportunities to get to know them all in a restaurant tucking into some "lutfisk" (think aged stockfish), enjoying a craft beer such as "Geiranger" in a bar or hanging out in a local coworking venue getting creative. The town's church is perched on a small hill overlooking the harbor and it's home to the University of Agder that is spawning tech savvy souls. First mentioned in the history books in the 16th Century, it was a sailing community where trading happened and smugglers hid.

Norway has one of the fastest growing tech scenes amongst the Nordic countries due to its startup ecosystem that is accelerating the pace. Once lagging behind its neighbors, now there are strong indications that the country is setting new benchmarks in terms of number of investments. The government is supporting the tech scene with programs to facilitate entrepreneurship such as "Innovation Norway" and the country is gaining a reputation for being a great place to launch a startup. Passionate entrepreneurs are leading its dynamic tech community with many startups focused on solving real-world problems. Norway has transparent laws and regulations and it's centrally located between North America and Asia, making it the perfect place for startups that wish to take on the global market.

Norway has a rich tradition of global trading and its effective trade agreements have led it to becoming one of the world's wealthiest countries. Entrepreneurs are being drawn to its shores for its unique standard of living and solid macro-economic conditions. Said to be one of the happiest places on the planet, it's little wonder that coworking venues are being swamped with innovative minds that smile all the time.
