Companies from Agder made their presence felt at ONS, the global energy exhibition and conference in Stavanger, which drew tens of thousands of visitors this week.

“It has been a tremendously important week for the Norwegian and global energy business. Coming together in Stavanger, we have highlighted current and looming challenges and been reminded of the importance of both energy security and the addition of renewable energy sources,” says Knut Mjåland, CEO of GCE NODE.

He hosted the joint Agder Pavilion at ONS – a buzzing stand area where 11 cluster companies showcased their technology and competence for a predominantly Norwegian but still international audience.

Serial entrepreneur Bjarne Skeie and daughter Lena Skeie met with Knut Mjåland, CEO of GCE NODE.

“Together with the larger GCE NODE companies, which had their own stands at ONS 2026, we have made our mark. The supplier industry in Agder remains a cutting-edge engineering stronghold for the oil and gas industry and also has the ability to transfer competence and technology to other sectors, such as offshore wind and defense,” says Mjåland.

The Agder Pavilion served as a hub for the region’s industry, offering afternoon networking opportunities daily. GCE NODE also hosted a packed Agder Reception, sponsored by DNB, at the premises of Stavanger Chamber of Commerce.
