Residents of the Kingdom of Norway, Europe’s northernmost country, enjoy the highest living standards in the world. It is marked by impressive mountains and a spectacular fjord coastline. Its history as a seafaring power is well-known.
Viking raids on the coasts of Britain and France as well as expeditions to the coast of North America are all part of the country’s heritage.
Today, Norway is rated as the most peaceful nations on earth and is among the planet’s largest exporters of fuels and fuel products.
Trend Hunter has been on the prowl for Norwegian enterprises, creativity, and innovations and is pleased to share some of its discoveries here with you.
