Horn Forlag AS was established in 1994 to market Norway and its commercial enterprises internationally by publishing, and regularly updating, a series of promotional books and an Internet portal, Norway Online.

Our Publications

Horn currently publishes the following titles:

Each publication is typically divided into two sections: editorial, covering the history, recent developments and the technology, and commercial, presenting many of the companies that made it all possible.

The publications are distributed free of charge throughout the world, and are available at a number of important trade fairs and conferences.

Horn Forlag AS stresses its relationship with the Norwegian business community and collaborates extensively with a number of business and professional organizations, large international companies and government ministries. In addition, the publications are distributed through Innovation Norway¹s network of offices abroad. These often serve as additional outlets, distributing the books in Norway and abroad, while keeping us updated as to where the various titles might be most effectively placed at any given time.

Venture Norway

For some years the Norwegian tourist authorities discussed the need for a national "product manual" spelling out some of the varied and exciting experiences Norway can offer our visitors throughout the year.

In December 2003, for the first time, such a product manual, "Venture Norway", was published by Horn Forlag AS and distributed by the Norwegian Tourist Board, which later became part of Innovation Norway. In January 2007, www.venturenorway.no was created to further meet the need of the Norwegian tourism industry.

The sole purpose of Venture Norway is to acquaint tour operators, travel agents and others involved in the tourism industry with the "product": Norway, one of the truly great tourist destinations, and truly a land for all seasons. This product manual is distributed free of charge by Innovation Norway and its offices at home and abroad.
