About The Airport

Trondheim is a student city of historic significance with a gastronomic future.

Proud host of the World Cheese Awards 2023, a European Region of Gastronomy in 2022, several Michelin Guide restaurants, the world’s northernmost medieval cathedral and a very vibrant international student community. Trondheim is making a name for itself in the world.

Economy
Norway’s third largest city’s main industry is the technology sector. The Norwegian University of Science and Technology is one of Norway’s leading research centres in the fields of engineering, physics and natural sciences. The Foundation for Scientific and Industrial Research is the largest independent research organization in Scandinavia, supporting research and development at roughly 2,000 Norwegian and overseas companies. The regional economy is also bolstered by a significant food industry and nature-based enterprises producing seafood, meat, vegetables and drinks.

  • Ocean Farm 1, the world’s first offshore fish farm, was developed by Salmar.
  • Powerhouse Brattørkaia is the world’s northernmost energy-positive building.
  • Brain researchers May-Britt and Edvard Moser received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2014.
  • Trondheim is the first and only region in Norway awarded the European Region of Gastronomy designation.

Culture
The Trondheim region has been populated for thousands of years, and the city was Norway’s capital until 1217. Known for the many beautiful historic sites, such as the old storehouses flanking both sides of Nidelva river, The Old Town Bridge and the world’s northernmost medieval cathedral of Nidaros, the city’s surprisingly upbeat atmosphere is a result of students comprising almost one fifth of the city’s population and vibrant music scene.
