ITS Norway is a membership organization for private and public actors in the transport sector. We work every day to find solutions together with partners in Norway and abroad and challenge the players to tackle our common challenge – to achieve smarter, safer and more sustainable transport, through digitalisation.
The organisation’s members and partners make up a large network of resources and expertise which together have an overview of the status and development trends in the entire ITS sector nationally and internationally. We make resources and expertise effectively available to our members through direct contact mediation, physical and digital meeting places, collaborative projects and our own information channels. This creates synergies that bring the sector forward and together we create tomorrow’s mobility and transport!
