Tromsø, the largest urban society in North Norway, wants to play a role in the High North of the future. It is believed the region will have significant international importance in the development of business in sectors such as energy, transport, environment, fisheries, and tourism. The city offers competitive information and research communities and will be a host for business development.
To meet these challenges, the city’s central industrial area shall be converted to accommodate new business, and will create a synthesis of Tromsø’s two most vital districts: the historical city centre with business and culture, and the University campus with and which has a distinct will to adapt to commercial concerns.
