International growth strategy

Our advisors have significant expertise in helping you prepare to reduce risks and increase the chances of a successful venture in new markets. You will receive valuable guidance in building or adapting your company's business model and strategy for international expansion.

International trade and IPR advisory

International trade requires knowledge of export regulations and how to handle cross-border logistics. Each market has different rules, and small mistakes can cost time and money. We have experienced experts who assist you in managing customs, VAT, international contracts, delivery terms, and international e-commerce. We also have IPR advisors who can support your company with a robust and comprehensive IPR strategy.

International visibility

We help you establish a presence in foreign markets and build strong brands. By participating in the Global Growth export program, you gain valuable market insights and the opportunity to meet relevant business partners. The same applies when we organize Norwegian pavilions at international trade fairs and business delegations accompanying Norwegian state visits and official visits abroad.
