The companies listed in Oslo are predominantly large organizations with significant employee counts, many exceeding 1,000. They operate in diverse sectors, including heavy industry, technology, and public services. Notable examples include Yara International, focused on sustainable crop nutrition; Norsk Hydro, involved in aluminium production and renewable energy; and Visma, which provides business software across Europe and Latin America.

A clear pattern is the strong presence of both public institutions and companies with a global reach. Oslo University Hospital and the University of Oslo represent major public service and education entities, while companies like Elkem ASA, a global provider of advanced material solutions, and Opera, offering internet products worldwide, demonstrate a strong international orientation from their Oslo headquarters.

How this list is built

Every company on this list has a Tamtam company profile. The industry is the one the company gives on LinkedIn; categories such as SaaS or fintech are classified by Tamtam's AI from the company's website and LinkedIn page; and the headquarters city must match the company's own address. Companies are ranked by the number of employees on LinkedIn, and the list is refreshed every night. Classifications can be wrong, so treat the list as a starting point rather than an official ranking. Last updated Nov 11, 2026.
