ANNOUNCEMENT: Norway-Asia Business Summit 2018

We are pleased to announce that the seventh edition of the Norway-Asia Business Summit is taking place in Singapore 16-18 April 2018. The Norway-Asia Business Summit has, since its start in 1998, evolved into a meeting place for Norwegian industry in the region, with strong support by the Norwegian government and the diplomatic missions across Asia.

The Summit in 2016 in Singapore was a great success, where 330 people attended including high-level speakers and guests. High-level speakers included, amongst others, the Norwegian Prime Minister Ms Erna Solberg, Minister for Trade and Industry (Trade) in Singapore Mr Lim Hng Kiang, the Director General of NHO Ms Kristin Skogen Lund, the Chief Executive of SPRING Singapore Poon Hong Yuen and the CEO of the Norwegian Shipowners’ Association Mr Sturla Henriksen.

You will find some of the highlights from NABS 2016 on the summit's website http://norway-asia.com/.

We are now planning the seventh edition of the summit and look forward to continuing the success.

This year, the main topics for the Summit are within shipping, offshore, energy and new technologies. Consequently, the summit will focus on how the rapid digitalisation and transformation process will impact the industries and business environment the Norwegian companies in Singapore are operating in.

Further, the summit will focus on new opportunities for start-ups involving successful entrepreneurships and up and coming companies in Asia.

The Summit will also give attention to the ASEAN region, especially on how the political and economic trends will impact the business climate for Norwegian businesses operating locally in Asian countries.

With the Summit, we aim to present opportunities and to strengthen the competitiveness of Norwegian businesses in Asia, as well as for businesses in Norway. Further, to strengthen the position of Norwegian business in Asia, we will seek comprehensive media coverage of the Summit.

Participating in the summit will better prepare you and your company to handle the challenges and benefits of the great opportunities within the Asian markets. The summit will be held at the iconic landmark hotel The Fullerton.

Mark your calendars now, we hope to see you in Singapore 16-18 April 2018!
