The Viking Hall

We’re excited to announce the launch of The Viking Hall, Norway’s premier deep tech pitching competition, where the country’s most innovative startups will have the opportunity to pitch to leading investors and secure the funding, they need to take their ideas to the next level.

The Viking Hall is our very own version of Dragons’ Den and Shark Tank, where a select group of startups will have the chance to showcase their technology, share their vision, and convince a panel of expert judges to invest in their ideas.

Our panel of judges is made up of some of the most respected and successful investors in the field of deep tech. They bring years of experience, knowledge, and resources to the table, and they’re eager to hear from the startups that are driving innovation in Norway and beyond.

During The Viking Hall, our finalists will deliver their pitches in front of a live audience, highlighting the potential of their technologies and demonstrating their market viability. They’ll receive feedback and insights from our panel of judges, and they’ll have the chance to answer questions and make connections that could help take their startups to the next level.
