What Is X2 Labs?
We’ve called X2 Labs “A Startup Factory” because we develop startup teams to co-found companies with serious growth ambitions. - From day one; program participants, otherwise known as Startup Heroes, focus on solving real market challenges presented by corporations and organizations.
X2 Labs runs 4 week-long programs that address a range of themes in industries primed for growth, such as Digital Tourism, Food, Financial Tech, Digital Health, Blue Revolution, Ocean Space and more...
Founded in late 2016, we are already one of largest and most ambitious entrepreneurship programs in the Nordics, with a goal to successfully launch at least 50 new companies (And we’re well on our way!)
- 10 Programs in Total
- "Ocean Space" is the 4th program!

Why Are We Doing This?
Simple. We live in Stavanger – a region in transformation.
We believe the greater region will face disruptive change in the coming decade. We want to be a part of the solution. The future. - Pushing the region post-oil & gas, we believe Rogaland and the greater west coast region can be a global hub for innovation and entrepreneurship.
To quote Torger Reve, ”...we are competing with Shanghai” – and that requires a different mindset, eco-system and innovative spirit than what has served us well for the past 30 years.
We at X2 Labs believe in the power of people. The power of working together. The power of the synergies that arise from diverse sets of skills and experiences. We have accomplished amazingness. Let’s do more.
