2020 was an exciting year for Schibsted. We acquired leading marketplaces in Denmark and Finland, helped (as majority-owner) to facilitate Adevinta´s acquisition of eBay classifieds, surpassed 1 bNOK in digital subscription revenue for our news sites, invested in numerous exciting Nordic start-ups, grew our e-commerce businesses to new heights, and initiated a set of ambitious strategic growth projects that will add to the future of Schibsted.

We trust that the years to come will be even more exciting. And we hope you will consider joining us to make it happen.
