For founders who want to make it there.

America is big. Your Norwegian modesty won’t help. You need to pitch bigger, ask clearly, find the right people on the ground, and learn quickly how New York works.

In this roundtable hosted by Norwegian Consulate General in New York, juggernaut New York players like NYSERDA (New York State Energy Research and Development Authority), MTA (Metropolitan Transportation Authority), The Clean Fight, and the New York Mayor’s Office talk about the kind of tech they’re looking for in The Nordics - and how to make landfall as a founder in New York. Thatcher Bell (The Clean Fight) moderates a session on the solutions major New York operators are looking for in The Nordics.

Pål T Næss, serial founder and new Innovation Norway man on the ground in NYC, then moderates top American investors on the art of raising capital and how to avoid turning US expansion into a costly experiment.
