The appreciation and application of useful knowledge is at the core of modern industrial culture. Emphasizing the role of practical skills and applied knowledge, this article analyses long-term patterns in the industrial history of the Agder region in Southern Norway from the 17th century to the present day. Focusing on five distinct periods, the article maps the emergence of significant new industries in the region and discusses how prominent industrial milieus in each period acquired the necessary knowledge and skills to succeed in their respective fields. While Agder has entertained a variety of industries, it is argued that the influence of the region's strong maritime culture has been a source of long-term continuity, from the emergence of a thriving shipbuilding industry in the 17th and 18th centuries, to the manufacture of advanced drilling equipment for today's global oil and gas industry.
