Can anybody please tell me why are these QR codes everywhere. I am currently in Ålesund and almost all the benches in nearby Aksla have QR codes on them.

It’s for donations to the organisation that’s placed and maintain the benches/area.
Vel is short for velforening, like a neighbourhood association

And Vipps (the logo above the QR code) is an online payment system.
Vipps is a payment app that is widely used in Norway. The purpose of these QR codes is to enable anyone who has that app to make a donation to the neighborhood association that is responsible for these benches.
So, these are tip cups, digitally
