One network, one mission: helping founders and companies move faster.
Coworking spaces, strategic relationships, industry events and international connections, all under one name.
Whether you're building a company, growing an established business, or looking for the next opportunity, this is where the right people, conversations and connections come together.
Connecting startups with clients and capital.
Strategic Relationships
Growth rarely happens alone. At the core of everything we do is a curated network of founders, corporates, investors and industry partners spanning Norway and reaching into international markets, built over more than a decade of relationships. We don't just make introductions. We take the time to understand what each side needs, and connect people when there is a real reason for them to meet.
Community & Workspace
Innovation Dock is more than a place to work. Our coworking spaces in Stavanger and Sandnes are built with the same care as everything else we do: high-quality facilities, thoughtfully designed meeting rooms, and social spaces made for both focus and connection. Choose a flexible seat, a dedicated desk or a private office, and get a community around you from day one.
Summits & Industry Events
Throughout the year, we create summits and industry events that bring people together around innovation, growth and the opportunities shaping what's next, from focused industry gatherings and networking events to future-facing dialogues across sectors. Our biggest gathering is Impact Summit & Awards, every spring in Stavanger.
Dealflow & Advisory
Not every introduction should happen, and not every idea is ready for the next step. We work closely with companies, investors and industry partners to understand what's actually relevant, sharpen the direction, and connect opportunities when the timing makes sense.
Connecting Norway to the world, and the world to Norway.
Innovation Dock runs a set of programmes and events that connect founders, established industry and international markets, helping Norwegian companies grow faster, both at home and abroad.
Impact Summit & Awards
Impact Summit & Awards is our flagship event, held every spring in Stavanger. It brings industry, investors, policymakers and founders together in one place, with a theme and programme that changes every year to stay relevant to what the ecosystem needs right now.
The day includes Impact Awards, honouring the region's impact heroes, and Impact Million, where thirteen investors put NOK 1 million into one startup, live on stage. The fifth edition is on 15 April 2027.

Nordic Energy Matchbox
Nordic Energy Matchbox is developed together with Energy Transition Norway and Validé, connecting startups and scale-ups with the industry decision-makers who can actually put their solutions to work.
Rather than generic pitch days, it's built around focused sessions where real industry challenges meet the companies able to solve them.

Startup Exchange Programme
Through the Innovation Dock Startup Exchange Programme we help Norwegian growth companies scale internationally, and international growth companies set up in Norway. Our partners abroad know the people who matter in their market and open those doors for our companies, and we do the same with the industry we know here. It runs with Equinor and is supported by Agenda Vestlandet.
Since 2024 we have brought startups from the US, the UK and Brazil to ONS in Stavanger, and taken Norwegian startups to Houston to meet customers, investors and partners. Aberdeen, Brazil and Europe are next.
