Intermediary AS is Made in Norway certified | Innovation Norway

Intermediary AS is now officially Made in Norway certified by Innovation Norway / Business Norway. The certification is a national mark of quality documenting that our entire digital infrastructure is designed, developed and operated in Norway — in line with Norwegian standards for security, regulatory compliance and data protection.

What does Made in Norway mean?

Made in Norway is more than a label of origin. It is a symbol of trust. The certification confirms that the product or service is built in a culture rooted in openness, equality, responsible corporate governance, honest collaboration and fair production — values that are more important than ever in a changing global marketplace.

For us at Intermediary AS this is an important recognition. We are building Norway's first end-to-end digital infrastructure for cross-border company formation, and the certification confirms that our technology meets the strictest Norwegian requirements for data protection, AML/PEP screening and electronic identification.

Why it matters to our customers

• Trust from the first click — foreign companies establishing in Norway through registercompany.no meet a platform that has been quality-marked by Norwegian authorities.
• Compliance throughout the solution — eIDAS-based identification (BankID, MitID, Itsme and others), automated AML/PEP screening, sanctions checks, KYC and GDPR — all built in, never bolt-on.
• A Norwegian data economy — our philosophy is that data should flow, not be recreated. Verified information is reused across the customer journey, reducing friction, costs and risk.
• A visible quality mark — the Made in Norway label will be displayed on our platform, in the customer journey, in marketing materials and in partner communications.

A deliberate choice of Norwegian origin

"The Made in Norway label elevates our brand and increases trust. It makes our offering more credible and more visible for international companies who need assurance that their market-entry partner operates according to the highest standards of security and compliance."
— Morten Ims, Founder & CEO, Intermediary AS

What lies behind the certification

The certification follows a thorough evaluation by Innovation Norway based on, among other things:

• Norwegian ownership, operations and development environment
• Patentability review confirmed by the Norwegian Patent Office — the solution is recognised as a new and independent innovation within digital company formation and cross-border onboarding
• Compliance with EU regulations: eIDAS, AMLD, GDPR, CER, NIS2, EU Data Act
• Integration with public Norwegian registers and EU business registers
• Sustainable business model and responsible corporate governance

The road ahead

With the Made in Norway label in place, combined with our nomination for the Norwegian Digitalisation Award 2026, we are positioning Intermediary AS as a preferred digital infrastructure partner for European companies wishing to enter the Norwegian market. Denmark is our test market — where the first 10 Danish companies have been onboarded via API integration with EU business registers and beneficial ownership data.

We thank Innovation Norway and Business Norway for their trust, and our customers, partners and state-authorised accounting partners for the collaboration that has made this certification possible.
