Business development

Utsira's challenge is to find new, smart solutions to create value from our closeness to nature. Here, new technology will be a key factor in the work of taming and capitalizing on the forces of nature. At the same time, Utsira must be able to attract new expertise that, together with today's inhabitants, can make Utsira the smart and green island community.

The island is a perfect test center with its geographical delimitation. Weakness has become our strength!

Main goal

Establish Utsira as a hub for Utsira North, create business development and innovation in the energy sector and maritime sector, exploit synergies between agriculture and aquaculture to create new business opportunities and stimulate entrepreneurship and development in tourism and tourism.

Utsira wants to proactively create business development and innovation through combinations of its location, national and international trends in green conversion and a goal to develop a year-round sustainable tourism.

In a small district municipality like Utsira, the industry will not be able to carry out necessary development projects itself. The municipality will therefore take the initiative to participate actively in the implementation of development projects. The municipality will be outgoing and outreach to the business community, and actively look for opportunities for business development or new establishments.

Utsira municipality prioritises the following thematic focus areas.

  • Floating offshore wind - Utsira North
  • Clean energy and maritime future
  • Food
  • Tourism
  • Smart communities

Utsira Næringsforum

A small island with many small players pulling in different directions will have no impact. The business community on Utsira has therefore gathered around the Utsira Business Forum to promote the business community's interests on the island.
