Exporting to Norway

There is a demand for UK-manufactured products and services across many sectors in Norway. This ranges from consumer products and environmental technologies, to e-vehicles and finance. There is also demand for medical and pharmaceutical products and physical and cyber security products.

Energy

Electricity is generated almost entirely from hydropower with around 10% from onshore wind. Norway enjoys a surplus of green electricity that is traded through interconnectors. An increasing demand for more electricity gives emerging opportunities for offshore wind, energy efficiency and storage technologies. The hydrogen value chain is a growing sector.

Infrastructure

The Norwegian Government is investing heavily in infrastructure, including airport developments, rail network upgrades, track and road construction. The government, and companies, are looking at developing integrated intelligent transport systems and autonomous transport. These will be integral for Norway to deliver on communicated emission reduction targets.

Security

The UK is well known for advanced, innovative and specialised physical and cyber security equipment and solutions. Therefore, Norway frequently looks to the UK for its expertise and experience in the security sector.

Food and drink

The demand for, and interest in, international food and drink products in Norway continues to grow. Important factors to consider include a health aspect, traceability, strong branding, quality and value for money. Plant-based products, vegan and vegetarian sectors continue to grow, and environmental packaging is becoming a strong selling point.

Technology

Norway is an early adaptor of technology across many sectors and is open to looking at new technological solutions.
