How can we ensure national production capacity, technological sovereignty, and competitiveness in a rapidly changing global landscape? What does it take for Norway to maintain its position in a new world order where supply security and innovation are increasingly critical? In a world marked by rising geopolitical uncertainty and rapid technological advancement, Norwegian industry faces both challenges and opportunities. To understand what is at stake, we must examine how global power dynamics affect everything from supply chains to access to critical raw materials. At the same time, technological advances such as digitalization, artificial intelligence, and automation are accelerating the transformation of Norwegian industry. Maintaining industrial resilience requires strategic investments and close collaboration between government, academia, research institutions, and the private sector.
