Depends on the business.

Want to score a job with a bank, hell yes, you're going to come in suit
[at least here in the Netherlands].

If I remember correctly from my friends who live there and my personal
visits to Norway it is only bank personnel that wears suits, the rest of
the working crowd wears casual.

You could also ring the company and ask reception or the person taking
the interview about their dresscode.  Worked for me. :)
