OSLO got a nice mention in Norway's probably most prestigious weekend magazine (equal to FT Weekly Magazine). It's also mentions the Oslo Meets Hackney and that it's cool to be from Oslo in Hackney these days.

Btw, Did you now the name Hackney comes from the vikings settlement in east London approx. 1500 years ago. Hackney it's derived from Håkon's Island.

"Hackney is home to one of the most vibrant start up scenes in the world. Companies here have real ambition to build businesses that will change the world. Being able to provide start ups in Oslo with a link to that vision and drive is really helping them to better understand how they can market their technology on the international stage. The tree is a celebration of the ongoing prosperous creative and cultural links between our two cities."

“Music and technology is helping to forge strong commercial and cultural ties between Hackney and Oslo. A key element for any start up scene is the ability to learn from others creative thought processes, interact with new talent and understand different applications of technology to different sectors. A strong partnership with Oslo really gives us that and it’s great to see how companies here in TechCity are benefiting from it.”

Councillor Guy Nicholson, Cabinet Member for Regeneration
