Trondheim is a thriving city and centre of knowledge with a highly respected university, many popular colleges and a research community ranking among the best in Europe.

Founded by the Viking King Olav Tryggvason in 997, Trondheim holds a special place in Norwegian history and culture. Today this heritage, combined with our high academic traditions, makes Trondheim an ideal city for work, investment, research, industry and commerce.

I am confident you will find Trondheim’s attractions, its cultural life, stimulating arts, musical scene, traditional elegance and emphasis on first-rate service fascinating and accommodating. You will find the people of Trondheim friendly and sociable, and on their behalf, it is my great pleasure to bid you welcome to Trondheim.

All good wishes,

Rita Ottervik
Mayor of Trondheim
