The council invites businesses to business forum on 5 November

What is happening in Longyearbyen, and what does the development mean for business?

The business forum will have a visit from, among others, the chair of Longyearbyen lokalstyre (the local council) and the chief administrative officer, who will brief on the running of the community and the development in Longyearbyen.

Time: 5 November at 08:30. Place: Newtontoppen, Næringsbygget.

Arbeidstilsynet (the Norwegian Labour Inspection Authority) will brief on changes to the rules on the psychosocial work environment, a current topic for all employers.

There will also be an opportunity to meet others from local business, share experiences and raise current issues. Those who want to bring up a matter at the forum can request speaking time at the same time as they register.

The council said the event will be both useful and pleasant, and asks participants to register. Registration deadline: Wednesday 4 November at 16:00. Registration for the business forum on Thursday 5 November 2026 is through the text link.
