Norway is one of the world's most prosperous and well-governed economies, built on a foundation of energy resources managed with remarkable long-term discipline. The Government Pension Fund Global — the world's largest sovereign wealth fund at nearly $1.7 trillion — is a case study in how natural resource wealth can be translated into intergenerational prosperity. Norwegian business education reflects this: BI Norwegian Business School in Oslo and the Norwegian School of Economics (NHH) in Bergen are both internationally respected institutions, with particular strengths in energy economics, maritime management, sustainable finance, and responsible business. The ongoing energy transition from oil and gas to renewables is transforming Norwegian industry and creating entirely new business opportunities for graduates.
