Norway

Norway invests in transport networks, offshore energy infrastructure, renewable power generation, and digital connectivity to support its diversified economy. Oil and gas revenues, managed through sovereign wealth funds, provide strong financing capacity for infrastructure development. Major projects include tunnels, bridges, and electrified transport systems across challenging terrain.
