🚀 Market Opportunities
Norway is a small but very high-value, oil-fund-backed healthcare market with among the highest per-capita device spending in the world. Its EEA membership means EU MDR CE marking gives immediate market access with minimal added national bureaucracy. The centralized Sykehusinnkjøp procurement trust means a single successful national framework tender can capture the entire Norwegian public hospital market at once — high leverage for a well-prepared entrant, though it also means losing a tender can lock a supplier out nationally for the framework period.
