In this brief video you can find seven little known facts about Norway.
More information about the video content bellow:
1. Half of the schools and homes in Norway’s capital, Oslo, are heated by burning garbage to generate electricity. It’s eco-friendly, and Oslo predicts they’ll be able to cut their city’s carbon dioxide emissions in half within 20 years. Norwegians are so efficient with their waste they have to import trash from other countries. Norway has imported trash from England, Ireland, Sweden, and they’d like to delve into the American trash market.
2. In the latest Prosperity Index, a report published by the Legatum Institute every year, Norway was officially named as the world’s most prosperous country, which takes into account factors such as the economy, personal freedom and education. Norway topped the charts through its population’s immense Social Capital, which includes strong familial bonds, charitable intent and high levels of trust between the people and their government.
3. The above mentioned happiness may be partly due to their flourishing democracy, and a relationship between the government and its people which is based on trust. This is exemplified in the Norwegian Sovereign Fund, a huge savings portfolio built with profits from the oil industry, which is growing every year to support future generations for when the oil reserves run out. Norway has saved almost a trillion dollars from the sale of oil.
4. Norway allows any student from anywhere in the world to study at their universities for free. This allowance has no limits, either: undergraduate, Masters and Ph.D.s included.
5. Norway gets more of its electricity from hydro-power than any other country in the world. There are 937 hydropower stations that provide 98% of the nation's power.
6. Longyearbyen in Norway has the strange privilege of being both the brightest and darkest place on the planet. As the world’s northernmost settlement, Lonyearbyen is located inside the Arctic Circle, and as a result it enjoys the unusual blessing of polar night, which means that it’s dark there for about 110 days non-stop each year. For Lonbyearbyen this means that from October 27 through to February 14, it’s effectively night time. Conversely, from April 19 through to August 23, there’s 95 days of midnight sun to look forward to. That’s right, the sun never sets.
7. It is illegal to spay or neuter your dog–except under circumstances concerning health, quality of life or utility. The Norwegian Animal Welfare Act indicates that surgical procedures are not to be used to adapt animals to the needs of humans, unless absolutely necessary.

A new law is dividing opinion in Norway, as the private sector must now ensure that 40% of their executives are women. Is this just political correctness, or the key to a strong economy?
Ansgar Gabrielsen, who implemented this controversial act, claims it was common sense behind the move rather than concern for gender equality. "My motivation was first and foremost to use the whole population to use all our resources." Yet not everyone thinks this gender-based legislation will help business. Media entrepreneur Trygve Hegnar fumes, "Should I not control my own business concerns? Must I find a woman?"

The Norwegian government said Thursday its economy, as measured by gross domestic product, was weakened because of the depressed oil market.
"According to seasonally-adjusted figures, gross domestic product for mainland Norway rose by 0.2 per cent in the second quarter of 2015, after three quarters of weak development," Statistics Norway said in its latest report. "The weak trend is particularly seen in industries supplying the petroleum industry."
Norway is a key oil exporter to European economies, which are emerging only slowly from the last global financial crisis.
The Norwegian Petroleum Directorate, the nation's energy regulator, said oil production in July was 1.56 million barrels per day on average, above 1.4 percent above July 2014 and 6.6 percent higher than NPD expected.
Despite a general growth in crude oil output, most energy companies across the global market are spending less on exploration and related activities in an effort to conserve capital. Statistics Norway said the mining and manufacturing sector declined during the second quarter by 1.5 percent.
"This decline is largely linked to reduced production within oil and gas-related industries," it said. "Value added in petroleum activities and ocean transport declined 1 percent in the second quarter, which contributed to a slight decline in total GDP compared with the previous quarter."
NPD set a goal of adding 5 billion barrels of oil to national reserves. By 2019, operators expect to start production at the Johan Sverdrup field, the fifth largest discovery ever made on the Norwegian continental shelf.
Statistics Norway last month said total investment in the energy sector for 2016 is estimated at $23.6 billion, a 1.4 percent increase from the estimate for 2015.

The economy of Norway is a developed mixed economy with heavy state-ownership in strategic areas of the economy. Although sensitive to global business cycles, the economy of Norway has shown robust growth since the start of the industrial era. Shipping has long been a support of Norway's export sector, but much of Norway's economic growth has been fueled by an abundance of natural resources, including petroleum exploration and production, hydroelectric power, and fisheries. Agriculture and traditional heavy manufacturing have suffered relative decline compared to services and oil-related industries, and the public sector is among the largest in the world as a percentage of the overall gross domestic product. The country has a very high standard of living compared with other European countries, and a strongly integrated welfare system.
Prior to the industrial revolution, Norway's economy was largely based on agriculture, timber, and fishing. Norwegians typically lived under conditions of considerable scarcity, though famine was rare. Except for certain fertile areas in Hedemarken and Østfold, crops were limited to hardy grains, such as oats, rye, and barley; and livestock to sheep, goats, cattle, pigs, and some poultry; in places this was complemented with hunting. In areas of Central and Northern Norway, the Sami subsisted on the nomadic herding of reindeer. Fishing all around the coast was dangerous work, though fish such as herring, cod, halibut, and other cold-water species were found in abundance. The introduction of the potato to Norway (in the 18th century) provided considerable relief for Norwegians.

The Norwegian oil-fueled economy is killing entrepreneurial initiatives | Odd Moe | TEDxBergen
This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Odd is talking about the present and future of entrepreneurship in Norway. He examines the challenges of Norwegian startup companies on the entrepreneurial scene. Why is it so hard for startups to survive and grow is such a rich and prosperous Scandinavian country? Odd is a mentor, angel investor and passionate entrepreneurial lobbyist, based in Oslo. He is also the founder of Gründernes Hus (The Entrepreneur’s House), which is a business incubator and co-working space for individual entrepreneurs, young companies, service providers and investors. As the host of Global Entrepreneurship Week in Norway, he has a central role in the startup community both in Norway and internationally. He has also been ... -
Norway - The Happiest Country of the World (Documentary of 2013 from the series "I Love Democracy")
We also recommend: Norway - Travel Report from the TV series "Time Out" / https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1sxdgMMaO-Q French description: Aux portes de l’Arctique, il est une pétro-démocratie riche à milliards qui fait figure de modèle social et politique pour le monde entier : la Norvège. À l’heure de la crise économique et politique en Europe, partir à la rencontre des citoyens de la social-démocratie la plus prospère du continent permet de prendre la mesure d’une situation plus complexe qu’il n’y paraît. Car comme dans toute belle histoire, la médaille a son revers. Ce revers s’appelle Anders Breivik, ce « loup solitaire » d’extrême droite qui a assassiné 77 personnes à Oslo le 22 juillet 2011 pour attirer l’attention sur la soi-disant « invasion » de la Norvège par les immigrés.

Strong Economy, Strong Women - Norway
October 2009 A new law is dividing opinion in Norway, as the private sector must now ensure that 40% of their executives are women. Is this just political correctness, or the key to a strong economy? Ansgar Gabrielsen, who implemented this controversial act, claims it was common sense behind the move rather than concern for gender equality. "My motivation was first and foremost to use the whole population to use all our resources." Yet not everyone thinks this gender-based legislation will help business. Media entrepreneur Trygve Hegnar fumes, "Should I not control my own business concerns? Must I find a woman?" -

Now They Say Norway Is the Model to Follow -- Is It?
The Scandinavian countries are held up as model economies and welfare states. We've already taken a closer look at Sweden and Denmark in order to evaluate these claims.

Weak oil market drags on Norway's economy. News, August 20
The Norwegian government said Thursday its economy, as measured by gross domestic product, was weakened because of the depressed oil market. "According to seasonally-adjusted figures, gross domestic product for mainland Norway rose by 0.2 per cent in the second quarter of 2015, after three quarters of weak development," Statistics Norway said in its latest report. "The weak trend is particularly seen in industries supplying the petroleum industry." Norway is a key oil exporter to European economies, which are emerging only slowly from the last global financial crisis. The Norwegian Petroleum Directorate, the nation's energy regulator, said oil production in July was 1.56 million barrels per day on average, above 1.4 percent above July 2014 and 6.6 percent higher than NPD expected.

In this brief video you can find seven little known facts about Norway.
More information about the video content bellow:
1. Half of the schools and homes in Norway’s capital, Oslo, are heated by burning garbage to generate electricity. It’s eco-friendly, and Oslo predicts they’ll be able to cut their city’s carbon dioxide emissions in half within 20 years. Norwegians are so efficient with their waste they have to import trash from other countries. Norway has imported trash from England, Ireland, Sweden, and they’d like to delve into the American trash market.
2. In the latest Prosperity Index, a report published by the Legatum Institute every year, Norway was officially named as the world’s most prosperous country, which takes into account factors such as the economy, personal freedom and education. Norway topped the charts through its population’s immense Social Capital, which includes strong familial bonds, charitable intent and high levels of trust between the people and their government.
3. The above mentioned happiness may be partly due to their flourishing democracy, and a relationship between the government and its people which is based on trust. This is exemplified in the Norwegian Sovereign Fund, a huge savings portfolio built with profits from the oil industry, which is growing every year to support future generations for when the oil reserves run out. Norway has saved almost a trillion dollars from the sale of oil.
4. Norway allows any student from anywhere in the world to study at their universities for free. This allowance has no limits, either: undergraduate, Masters and Ph.D.s included.
5. Norway gets more of its electricity from hydro-power than any other country in the world. There are 937 hydropower stations that provide 98% of the nation's power.
6. Longyearbyen in Norway has the strange privilege of being both the brightest and darkest place on the planet. As the world’s northernmost settlement, Lonyearbyen is located inside the Arctic Circle, and as a result it enjoys the unusual blessing of polar night, which means that it’s dark there for about 110 days non-stop each year. For Lonbyearbyen this means that from October 27 through to February 14, it’s effectively night time. Conversely, from April 19 through to August 23, there’s 95 days of midnight sun to look forward to. That’s right, the sun never sets.
7. It is illegal to spay or neuter your dog–except under circumstances concerning health, quality of life or utility. The Norwegian Animal Welfare Act indicates that surgical procedures are not to be used to adapt animals to the needs of humans, unless absolutely necessary.

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Odd is talking about the present and future of entrepreneurship in Norway. He examines the challenges of Norwegian startup companies on the entrepreneurial scene. Why is it so hard for startups to survive and grow is such a rich and prosperous Scandinavian country?
Odd is a mentor, angel investor and passionate entrepreneurial lobbyist, based in Oslo. He is also the founder of Gründernes Hus (The Entrepreneur’s House), which is a business incubator and co-working space for individual entrepreneurs, young companies, service providers and investors. As the host of Global Entrepreneurship Week in Norway, he has a central role in the startup community both in Norway and internationally. He has also been cofounder of such great projects as Seed Forum International and Startup Weekend Norway. Seed Forum, being present in more than 40 countries around the world, is mainly aimed at improving the chances of startup companies to get early stage financing and enlarge the scale of operations. Startup Weekend is an intense “hands on” workshop aimed at starting up new companies in 54 hours combined with efficient teambuilding training and continuous mentorship.
About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group.

wn.com/The Norwegian Oil Fueled Economy Is Killing Entrepreneurial Initiatives | Odd Moe | Tedxbergen
This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Odd is talking about the present and future of entrepreneurship in Norway. He examines the challenges of Norwegian startup companies on the entrepreneurial scene. Why is it so hard for startups to survive and grow is such a rich and prosperous Scandinavian country?
Odd is a mentor, angel investor and passionate entrepreneurial lobbyist, based in Oslo. He is also the founder of Gründernes Hus (The Entrepreneur’s House), which is a business incubator and co-working space for individual entrepreneurs, young companies, service providers and investors. As the host of Global Entrepreneurship Week in Norway, he has a central role in the startup community both in Norway and internationally.

Seed Forum, being present in more than 40 countries around the world, is mainly aimed at improving the chances of startup companies to get early stage financing and enlarge the scale of operations. Startup Weekend is an intense “hands on” workshop aimed at starting up new companies in 54 hours combined with efficient teambuilding training and continuous mentorship.

October 2009
A new law is dividing opinion in Norway, as the private sector must now ensure that 40% of their executives are women. Is this just political correctness, or the key to a strong economy?
Ansgar Gabrielsen, who implemented this controversial act, claims it was common sense behind the move rather than concern for gender equality. "My motivation was first and foremost to use the whole population to use all our resources." Yet not everyone thinks this gender-based legislation will help business. Media entrepreneur Trygve Hegnar fumes, "Should I not control my own business concerns? Must I find a woman?"

The Norwegian government said Thursday its economy, as measured by gross domestic product, was weakened because of the depressed oil market.
"According to seasonally-adjusted figures, gross domestic product for mainland Norway rose by 0.2 per cent in the second quarter of 2015, after three quarters of weak development," Statistics Norway said in its latest report. "The weak trend is particularly seen in industries supplying the petroleum industry."
Norway is a key oil exporter to European economies, which are emerging only slowly from the last global financial crisis.
The Norwegian Petroleum Directorate, the nation's energy regulator, said oil production in July was 1.56 million barrels per day on average, above 1.4 percent above July 2014 and 6.6 percent higher than NPD expected.
Despite a general growth in crude oil output, most energy companies across the global market are spending less on exploration and related activities in an effort to conserve capital. Statistics Norway said the mining and manufacturing sector declined during the second quarter by 1.5 percent.
"This decline is largely linked to reduced production within oil and gas-related industries," it said. "Value added in petroleum activities and ocean transport declined 1 percent in the second quarter, which contributed to a slight decline in total GDP compared with the previous quarter."
NPD set a goal of adding 5 billion barrels of oil to national reserves. By 2019, operators expect to start production at the Johan Sverdrup field, the fifth largest discovery ever made on the Norwegian continental shelf.
Statistics Norway last month said total investment in the energy sector for 2016 is estimated at $23.6 billion, a 1.4 percent increase from the estimate for 2015.
