What they say

Asia is a priority market for Innovation Norway and we have strengthened our presence there to assist small and medium-sized companies in their effort to enter the Asian markets. In general, Asia is a growing market for Norwegian businesses, both for large companies and SMEs. Norwegian strengths are in maritime and ship technology and equipment, the oil-gas-offshore sector and in seafood. But we have also promising prospects in renewable energy, environmental technologies and in the healthcare sector.

Norway and China have strong and long-standing business relations and trade is increasing every year. In strong contrast to many countries, business is flourishing up in the north. In spite of being a small country with only five million inhabitants, the Norwegian population has a very high purchasing power. If you are looking for business opportunities in the Scandinavian market, you should start in Oslo, the capital of Norway. The Oslo Chamber of Commerce can assist foreign companies to establish contacts and develop business opportunities to their full potential. Norway leads the world in key sectors such as oil and gas, subsea and offshore related industries, fishing, (particularly salmon) and shipping.
