We extend a special invitation to Norwegian companies specializing in sea-related technology and solutions to participate in an exclusive export program facilitated by Innovation Norway.

We are specifically seeking companies with innovative products and services tailored for the Canadian marine sector.

Whether your focus is OceanTech, encompassing surface and sub-surface technologies with applications in food, energy, monitoring, and more, or marine conservation solutions tackling issues like oil spills and plastic pollution, we encourage you to apply.

– This is a fantastic opportunity for our members and other companies aiming to enter the Canadian market, remarks Owe Hagesæther.

The Trade Mission Program to Canada's Halifax in Nova Scotia will take place 22–27 September 2024.
