Details

Did you know that 73 percent of all Rogaland residents work in a private company? That's the most in the country, and something to be proud of. Join us for a breakfast meeting, where there will be conversations and dialogue between business owners and managers from Rogaland and local politicians on their way to the Storting.

The companies create jobs. They contribute tax revenue to the community: Money for schools, kindergartens, hospitals, roads and elderly care. Many of the companies are also owned by locals, who in turn support the corps, the sports club and the cultural center.

Without these companies, Norway and Rogaland would come to a standstill.

What will it take for companies to be able to create jobs in the years to come? What do companies need to grow, to be able to contribute tax revenues and support local communities in the future?

How much tax can companies tolerate? What do the parties think about wealth tax? How do we prevent local companies from being sold abroad?
