A strong Norwegian home market has helped Norwegian
industries to develop technologies in the absolute forefront.
In some important areas, like the subsea market, the
Norwegian "oil cluster" became world leaders through
companies like Vetco, Aker Kværner and FMC Technologies.
Advanced products for the domestic market, with
cost effective and flexible solutions, are also sought after in
the international market place. Norwegian companies are
now involved in some of the world’s foremost projects, from
Sakhalin in the east to Brazil in the west and Angola in the south.
This book describes some of the best technology stories
that have emerged from Norwegian research institutions.
