Norway lacked a venue for informal meetings between business and politics until Arendalsuka was organised for the first time in 2012. It was a huge success and this year it will be the most important meeting place between leaders in politics and business, the media and the public.

Arendalsuka has now established itself as an annual forum of national importance where national delegates in politics, society and industry meet each other and the public, to debate and develop policies for the present and future.

Arendalsuka is politically independent, and aims to strengthen the belief in politics and political debate. Arendalsuka will help to strengthen the power of our democracy.

The events are free and open for everyone.
