Nøtterøy and Tjøme - a Norwegian eldorado

Nøtterøy and Tjøme are two island districts in one of the most exciting growth areas in Norway today.

You will find us just over one hour´s drive south of the capital city of Oslo at the mouth of the Oslo fjord.

We have a fantastic scenic archepelago, a comfortable climate, ammenities of every kind and a well developed communications infrastructure.
The motorway from Oslo has been extended and railway capacity increased.
There are around 25,000 people living on these islands and a population of 120,000 within a radius of 40 kilometers.
Our county of "Vestfold" is the most densley populated county in Norway outside Oslo.

The cost of living and wage levels are lower here than in the immediate proximity of Oslo.
This area is considered an extremely  desirable residential area and the population is highly skilled in fields such as ICT, telecommunication, electronic engineering and all kinds of service industries.

The region is also the holidaying area of choice for very many Norwegians living in the south eastern part of the country.

This site is edited by the local economic development officer and we will shortly be presenting a number of our companies for you in english.
We will also be offering a photographic presentation of our region.
