Norway's Wilhelmsen is funding a new digital technology centre to find new business models and boost efficiency.

Raa Labs is based in Lysaker and taps directly into the "immense networks" of owners Wallenius Wilhelmsen and Wilhelmsen group, which have provided $2m of seed investment, it said.

“A company with this backing, with these resources and access to competence can create solutions beyond your imagination," said Raa CEO Ari Marjamaa.
