6/2/2019 Existing clusters I tillegg til relevant informasjon om regionen og Norge, har vi et spesielt fokus på fire næringer i markedsføringen. Det er det biomedisinske miljø, energi, ikt og den maritime sektor. Innenfor disse næringene har vi allerede internasjonalt konkurransedyktige miljøer, eller miljøer med et stort potensial. Slik vi ser det er det av stor betydning å få frem at Oslo er en typisk high-tech region med en interessant kunnskapsindustri.
