Morten is passionate about travelling and international relations and thrives in good company with people from other cultures and backgrounds. The best self-development personally for him has been around people with different experiences and perspectives. International congresses and cultural and sports events are a driving force for these values, which he believes are valuable to focus on. His objective is to develop Region Stavanger to become an increasingly attractive destination for international events and conference organisers. This is good for local businesses, but especially for the local society with the positive legacies and impacts it has.
