Tomorrow's businesses need more than new technology
They need people with the right digital skills – in the right place, at the right time.
6 in 10 NHO businesses have an unmet skills need, and IT remains one of the fields with the highest demand in Norwegian industry. At the same time, 67% of businesses lack the skills they need to adopt artificial intelligence.

So the gap isn't just about a lack of people with the right skills. It's also about giving more people a real opportunity to use and further develop their skills in Norwegian working life.
Through Agela Tech Talent, we connect people with a technology or IT background to real projects, professional guidance and relevant work experience – while businesses gain access to the skills they actually need.
