The Department for International Trade (DIT) in the UK and Norway are delighted to invite businesses from across the Northern Powerhouse to express their interest in a virtual trade mission to explore their opportunities in the Norwegian energy sector. The virtual mission programme is precursor to a physical mission, which is due to take place mid-summer*.
About the Norwegian market
The North of England and Norway have a long-standing relationship and excellent business relations with many Norwegian companies that are operational in the region, such as Equinor, Aker, and DNV.
The Norwegian energy sector is going through change, which is opening opportunities as it embraces other sources of energy as well as energy usage, storage, and distribution. Norway had been synonymous with having significant hydropower capacity however, as demand is increasing, and the need for energy transition gains momentum. Norway is now looking to offshore wind and hydrogen. In addition to energy storage with a focus upon transport, port infrastructure, data centres, battery production and more.
What’s included?
The programme will include a series of virtual roundtable events with a select group of Norwegian companies, operating in the following sectors:
- Energy Storage
- Hydrogen
- Offshore Wind
- Transportation Electrification
The virtual trade mission is a great opportunity to connect and establish relationships with in-market representatives, which will form a strong foundation for the physical trade mission later in the year.
About the programme
The roundtable discussions will take place over two days. Entry will be on a first come first served basis, successful applicants will have the option to participate in some or all of the sessions. A minimum of two Norwegian companies per sector will join the virtual events, due to the overlapping nature of sectors, there may be representation from the companies at more than one session.
