Comet Growth strengthens its presence in Bergen

A maritime city where decisions matter 

Bergen is a cornerstone of Norway’s maritime industry. Shipowners, operators, technology companies and specialised service providers operate in a closely connected ecosystem defined by competence, trust and short decision paths. 

This is a market where relationships matter and where growth is built through insight, relevance and proximity to decision makers. 

This is why Comet Growth is strengthening its presence in Bergen. 

Strengthening market proximity 

Comet Growth is strengthening its team with Per Kristian Knutsen in a Business Development role, based in Bergen. He will work closely with companies operating in maritime and international markets, supporting commercial clarity and long-term growth. 

The role is focused on being close to the market, understanding industry dynamics and helping companies establish strong entry points and partnerships in complex commercial environments. 

Bergen is a mature maritime market. To succeed, you need to understand both the industry and how decisions are actually made” says Knutsen.
