What Digital Innlandet does

Digital Innlandet is a non-profit regional business network and association (næringsforening) headquartered in Gjøvik, Innlandet, Norway, serving IT and technology companies across the Innlandet county. Founded in 2015 with approximately 18 employees and operating from four regional offices (Gjøvik, Brumunddal, Hamar, Lillehammer), the organization convenes an ecosystem of more than 80 member companies, academic partners (NTNU Gjøvik, INN University, Fagskolen Innlandet), municipalities and regional development bodies. Its core products are not technology artifacts but membership services: networking arenas, competence-development programs, member events (Arendalsuka, Kongsberg Agenda, Vinter@Ilsetra, Cyberdagene, breakfast meetings), and cross-cluster collaboration platforms.

Digital Innlandet also serves as the host organization for the Norwegian Cybersecurity Cluster — a national industry cluster bringing together over 40 companies, organizations and supporters — and managed the Cross Border Cyber Capacity (CBCC) Interreg Sverige-Norge project from 2023 to April 2026 in partnership with Swedish foundation Compare, Karlstads universitet, NTNU, INN University, Region Värmland, Karlstads kommun, Vaager Innovasjon, DigitalWell Ventures and Cybercampus Sverige. The CBCC program engaged 250+ organizations, 170+ companies, 600+ participants, 19 joint cyber exercises and 300+ students. The Norwegian organization number is 915 802 222.

The business model is a hybrid of annual membership fees (subscription/recurring, pricing undisclosed publicly) and project-based public funding from Interreg Sverige-Norge, Innlandet Fylkeskommune (Innlandet County Municipality), Region Värmland and the Cyberland initiative. Go-to-market is community-led and event-driven: members are acquired through events, partnerships with other regional organizations, and direct application. As a private member-based organization with no external parent, no subsidiaries, no funding rounds, no M&A activity, and no patents, the organization's strategic posture is that of a publicly-supported regional cluster convener rather than a venture-scale technology business.

Direct peers

• NCE Manufacturing: Norwegian Centre of Expertise manufacturing cluster and Kongsberg Agenda 2026 co-partner. Comparable as a national cluster program member with similar convening role between industry, academia, and public sector, though focused on industrial digitalization rather than cybersecurity.
• TCE (Trondheim Cybersecurity Cluster) / NTNU: Trondheim-based cybersecurity cluster ecosystem anchored by NTNU. Comparable as another Norwegian cybersecurity cluster with strong academic ties and joint exercises — directly competes with the Norwegian Cybersecurity Cluster for national standing, talent, and program funding.
• Norwegian Smart Innovation Norway: Norwegian non-profit cluster organization (NCE Smart Energy Markets) that operates as a member-based network connecting tech and energy companies, academia, and public sector. Same model as Digital Innlandet: non-profit, membership-fee funded, hosts a cluster designation, and runs EU and national grant-funded programs.
• Stiftelsen Compare (Karlstad): Swedish foundation that is Digital Innlandet's direct partner in the CBCC Interreg project, running parallel cross-border cyber capacity programs. Both are regional non-profit cluster organizations coordinating industry, academia, and public-sector cybersecurity collaboration — making them the closest functional mirror.
• NCE Heidner Biocluster: Norwegian Centre of Expertise (NCE) cluster that collaborated with Digital Innlandet at Kongsberg Agenda 2026. Direct peer in the sense of being a national cluster organization operating under the Innovation Norway cluster framework with similar member-based, grant-funded operating structure.
• Kongsberg Innovasjon / Klosser Innovasjon: Norwegian regional innovation organization (Hamar/Kongsvinger) that co-partnered with Digital Innlandet at Kongsberg Agenda 2026. Comparable as a regional member-based innovation network serving tech and SMB companies in a defined Norwegian geography, offering similar networking, member development, and project-grant services.

Regional players

• Bright House (Gjøvik): Innovation hub co-located with Digital Innlandet's headquarters at Mustad Næringspark in Gjøvik. Peer as a regional innovation/infrastructure operator in Innlandet with overlapping member companies and programming (Vaager Innovasjon, NTNU Gjøvik), and a direct beneficiary of Digital Innlandet's networking functions.

Broad incumbents

• Cybercampus Sverige: Swedish national cybersecurity competence ecosystem that is a CBCC ecosystem partner. Peer in the sense of addressing the same national cybersecurity talent and innovation challenge at larger scale, providing a benchmark for what Digital Innlandet could grow into nationally.
• Norwegian Innovation Clusters (Norwegian Clusters): The national cluster program under Innovation Norway that oversees and accredits clusters like the Norwegian Cybersecurity Cluster hosted by Digital Innlandet. Peer because Digital Innlandet operates within this framework and competes/cooperates with other accredited clusters for funding and members.
• Oslo Tech Cluster / Oslo Startup Lab: Larger Norwegian tech and startup community organization with a much wider geography and member base. Peer in the sense of being a tech community/cluster operator, but considerably broader and more commercially oriented than Digital Innlandet's regional, public-sector-aligned model.
