Why become a member?

As a member, you'll have access to our themed events, resource archive, and network.


BAN Arctic is driven by voluntary commitment, Innovasjon Norge, and Samfunsløftet. The membership costs are therefore reduced to a minimum to cover the expenses associated with providing a good offering for our members.


The purpose is to provide our members with professional development, meet like-minded individuals, and connect with investment-ready companies. We aim to provide you with the necessary tools for making investments, and course materials will be available whenever possible.

Our goal is to increase access to private venture capital in the early stages of newly established growth businesses' lives.

About the association

Norway needs many new private jobs in the coming decades to maintain our welfare level.

At the same time, parts of Northern Norway face demographic challenges – outmigration and an increasingly older population – and need new, exciting job opportunities to reverse the trend. One of the most important job creators in Norway is growth companies.

For startups

BAN Arctic is an association for existing and prospective investors in startups and growth companies in Northern Norway. We periodically open up opportunities for startups in Northern Norway to present themselves to the network in connection with open investment rounds.
