Ready, set, ENK! Starting your own business in Norway (and Friday afterwork)

The good news is: traditional employment isn't the only way to build a career in Norway. For many internationals, freelancing or running a small business can be a way to use existing skills, create new opportunities, build a professional network, and make your own path into Norwegian working life. Join Unlock Norway for an honest and practical conversation about self-employment and entrepreneurship in Norway. The programme includes: ENK 101: An introduction to enkeltpersonforetak (ENK)—Norway's simplest business structure for self-employed individuals—with Tumi Sineke (Inclusion Studio) Real experiences and advice: Hear from internationals who have built their own businesses and careers in Norway about what works, what doesn't, and what they wish they'd known, including Kyle McClenahan (Arctic Coliving) and Emma Jackson (people & culture specialist). Already have an ENK, or never even heard of it? No worries! Everyone is welcome! 🥳 And when we're done, we're joining MESH's Friday Afterwork to continue the conversations, meet more people from Oslo's startup and business community, and kick off the weekend. Food and drinks will be available for purchase. The event is free and held in English. 💙 Part of Norway Welcome Week 2026.
