- We would hereby like to invite the business community in Zimbabwe to attend this important event, says project director Eivind Fjeldstad. The Norwegian-African Business Association (NABA), Norway’s first chamber of commerce linking Norway and African business communities, is organizing the conference with partners such as the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Norwegian Investment Fund for Developing Countries (Norfund), and KLM.
- Our aim is that this conference can be the starting point of new, fruitful business collaborations between our two countries. In Norway, sectors such as oil and gas, renewable energy, finance, aquaculture and fisheries, shipping, agriculture, technology, tourism and consumer goods producers are invited to the business summit, says Fjeldstad.
