The Spirit of Greater Stavanger
The Greater Stavanger region has always looked to the sea, a gateway to the world. Some say that Norway’s history actually began here, with the first settlers arriving in small boats when the last ice age ended 10, 000 years ago. Now, as one of the largest and most important business and residential regions in Norway, the region has nearly 300, 000 inhabitants working in a wide spectrum of careers. With plentiful natural resources, successful companies and dynamic infrastructure; the talented, experienced and friendly people enjoy the high quality of life and career opportunities in Greater Stavanger.
Culture
Still, the region is certainly much more than successful business activities; it is a centre of creativity, culinary arts and culture. In 2008, the region was awarded the ultimate recognition for its burgeoning cultural industries; designation by the European Union as a European Capital of Culture, beginning a year-long extravaganza of music, art, dance, sculpture, literature, drama and more. More than a million spectators took part in more than 1,100 events.
