Midt-Telemark Trail Cycling
Midt-Telemark Stisykling AS (MTS) was established in collaboration with the municipality of Midt-Telemark, the University of South-Eastern Norway, Sagavoll Folk High School, Bø Frikjøringsklubb, Sentrumsringen i Bø and Visit Bø AS. The aim is to make Midt-Telemark an attractive trail cycling destination.
11 local companies and organisations are now joining a business network to continue working on the development of trail cycling in Midt-Telemark and Nome in collaboration with Midt-Telemark Stisykling AS.
The purpose of the business network is to develop the region into one of Norway's best trail cycling destinations at all levels.
The business network has received a grant of NOK 725,000 from Innovation Norway for the first main project.

Midt-Telemark Stisykling AS is now applying to the county council for further funding in order to be able to start up the first development measures under 2025.
The business network is broadly based and represents more than 100 companies and organisations in Midt-Telemark and Nome, as Visit Bø, Sentrumsringen and Lunde Trade association all participate in the network.
