Together with our partners, Oslo Innovation Week has reached and breached many goals during the last 15 years. The Oslo Innovation Week family has gotten bigger and stronger. Now including a broader mix of event organizers like tech companies, corporates, incubators, organizations and the public sector. The number of international attendees have increased from 19% in 2015 to 31% in 2019. We’ve maintained our ambition of having 50% female speakers on stage. We have introduced new concepts such as Powercouples. We have positioned Oslo Innovation Week amongst the big, global players like Web Summit and Slush - hitting Forbes list of events you must go to in 2018. All these success stories is the result of pioneering event organizers, owners and attendees who have joined year after year, tested new concepts (oh and some have failed too), and contributed. The way forward The competition between events, cities and nations is fierce. Oslo Innovation Week is doing well - so it’s time to shake things up! To be a frontrunner and deliever value to our stakeholders, we must always strive to be better. In coming weeks, Oslo Business Region will work on the strategy and the new way forward for Oslo Innovation Week. You’ll be invited too. Maybe we’ll end up right were we’re at now, or maybe we’ll discover new possibilities, partners and connections. We don’t know yet! What we do know is that we’ll continue to support our attendees, event organizers, owners and future stakeholders. In the meanwhile, save the date for Oslo Innovation Week 2020, 21-25 September.

In June 2019, we launched a new website, designed by BEKK, based on the visual profile created by Metric Design. The result was a pioneering and modern design, that still funtions as a source of information, engagement and an effortless way to register for events. After the launch, the website was featured on Bēhance, a renowned website that showcases creative work. Website 81 243 Norwegian 61% 39% International Country Session duration per visitor 1:46 79%Bounce Rate Page views The numbers are lower than last year´s due to the tracing code for Google Analytics only registrering the first time people accessed the front page. Thus, it did not track the people viewing the program etc.
Key numbers press and social media 206 Millions in digital reach Scale of 1-5, where 5 is best. Articles published so far183 Measured 1 Jun - 29 Oct, 2018 & 2019. Digital media reach is social media reach combined with the reach of digital press articles. There was a 71% decrease in digital reach from 2018, and a 75% in articles published. The decrease in both articles published and digital media reach is not due to lack of priority or quality of work. In 2018, we had a large increase in exposure due to former President, Barack Obama, visiting Oslo Business Forum as a speaker. Thus, it would be unrealistic for us to reach the same numbers in 2019. However, both articles published and the digital media reach is almost doubled when compared to 2017. 728 516
Key numbers social media 39 Millions in social media reach Followers across social media platforms23269 Unique users reached on Facebook and Twitter. Measured using Meltwater Insights. Measured 1 Jun - 29 Oct (2019 & 2018). There was a 51% decrease in social media reach from 201, however there was a 16% increase in followers. The decrease in social media reach is not due to lack of priority or quality of work.

We continued our partnership with the Norwegian content creation startup, The Lunicorn. They provided us with video content before, during and after the week. The video content generated more value and attention accross social media channels. Video marketing 30000+ Views on own native channels - not including the views amassed from others sharing the content.
Visual elements across Oslo Based on the visual brand profile, Metric Design created new banners to hang on Oslo´s main street - Karl Johan, posters to display accross venues, badges, and t-shirts for crew and volunteers. They also created vinyl for windows and visual signs and elements that we displayed at Youngs to make it visible as our head quarters throughout the week.

Now including a broader mix of event organizers like tech companies, corporates, incubators, organizations and the public sector. The number of international attendees have increased from 19% in 2015 to 31% in 2019. We’ve maintained our ambition of having 50% female speakers on stage. We have introduced new concepts such as Powercouples. We have positioned Oslo Innovation Week amongst the big, global players like Web Summit and Slush - hitting Forbes list of events you must go to in 2018. All these success stories is the result of pioneering event organizers, owners and attendees who have joined year after year, tested new concepts (oh and some have failed too), and contributed. The way forward The competition between events, cities and nations is fierce. Oslo Innovation Week is doing well - so it’s time to shake things up! To be a frontrunner and deliever value to our stakeholders, we must always strive to be better. In coming weeks, Oslo Business Region will work on the strategy and the new way forward for Oslo Innovation Week. You’ll be invited too. Maybe we’ll end up right were we’re at now, or maybe we’ll discover new possibilities, partners and connections. We don’t know yet! What we do know is that we’ll continue to support our attendees, event organizers, owners and future stakeholders. In the meanwhile, save the date for Oslo Innovation Week 2020, 21-25 September.

    In June 2019,we launched a new website, designed by BEKK, based on the visual profile created by Metric Design. The result was a pioneering and modern design, that still funtions as a source of information, engagement and an effortless way to register for events. After the launch, the website was featured on Bēhance, a renowned website that showcases creative work.

    Key numbers pressand social media 206 Millions in digital reach Scale of 1-5, where 5 is best. Articles published so far183 Measured 1 Jun - 29 Oct, 2018 & 2019. Digital media reach is social media reach combined with the reach of digital press articles. There was a 71% decrease in digital reach from 2018, and a 75% in articles published. The decrease in both articles published and digital media reach is not due to lack of priority or quality of work. In 2018, we had a large increase in exposure due to former President, Barack Obama, visiting Oslo Business Forum as a speaker. Thus, it would be unrealistic for us to reach the same numbers in 2019. However, both articles published and the digital media reach is almost doubled when compared to 2017. 728 516
