Expanding into Norway meets a growing client demand for greater access to the Nordic markets, so we now can provide investors with the ability to analyze commercial properties, ownership, transactions and locations to discover new business opportunities in the country. Across all four markets, Datscha provides users with decision-criticalinformation on over 35 million properties.“
