How we help businesses seize international opportunities
We offer a range of export services, supported by experts and advisers in Norway and internationally.
We help you develop your international growth strategy
We help companies develop growth and market entry strategies for new markets. We offer a range of programmes, from workshops that prepare you for international expansion to Trade Mission, where groups of companies enter the market to learn more about specific market opportunities.
We help with all the practicalities
Our Export Centre helps you with all the practical aspects of exporting, including free trade agreements, customs duties and taxes, documentation requirements and contracts. We can also advise you on how to protect your company's intellectual property rights.
Support abroad
We have more than 100 employees across our many export offices outside Norway, all working to help Norwegian businesses succeed internationally. Our experts have valuable networks and in-depth knowledge of relevant sectors, market conditions and business cultures. We provide Norwegian companies with market insights, help you find customers and business partners, introduce you to relevant stakeholders and offer practical assistance. Our international offices work closely with Norwegian embassies, NORWEP, the Norwegian Seafood Council and others to provide businesses with strong support in key markets.
Identify and communicate market opportunities
Our offices abroad keep their finger on the pulse for Norwegian businesses. We are constantly looking for business opportunities. These may be opportunities for individual companies that already have a foothold in the market, or major opportunities that call for a coordinated national initiative, enabling a group of Norwegian companies to win major contracts together.
Nordic Innovation House
In several countries, our offices are part of Nordic Innovation House. Funded by the Nordic Council, Nordic Innovation House aims to give Nordic companies access to global entrepreneurial and innovation communities. By connecting Norwegian companies with local ecosystems and accelerators, we help them gain momentum quickly in the market.
Technology attachés
In Brazil, Japan, India and Singapore, our technology attachés work closely with research and knowledge communities. This enables Norwegian companies to connect with centres of expertise in these markets, get closer to market opportunities and win contracts.
Self-service courses and market information
In our digital Competence Centre you will find a wealth of useful information about exports, international business development, opportunities in overseas markets and introductions to different markets. You will find information from us, as well as from Eksfin and DOGA.
