Size wise, Oslo is one of the largest capitals, however only 20% of its land mass has been developed - the rest of this beautiful city is taken up with nature: parks, protected forests, hills, and hundreds of lakes.
Why exhibit there?

Bonus round
- Local currency is Norwegian krone.
- The official language is Norwegian.
- You may need to apply for a visa if you’re not from a Schengen country, check the list to be safe.
- Most places use the 2 round pin plug socket.

One of the main values is the focus on equality. As a result, you will see little hierarchy, flat structures and an informal communication.
