Our advisors have in-depth knowledge of EU policy development, regulations, and funding opportunities. In a complex political and regulatory landscape, we identify the key framework conditions and market opportunities relevant to your business.

The EU as a Market Driver for European Businesses

The EU plays a central role in addressing major challenges that affect both Europe and the wider world – from climate change and digitalisation to energy security and defence.

In an increasingly unstable global environment, the EU is working to strengthen its autonomy in critical sectors. Faced with growing competition from China and the United States, the EU is investing heavily in shaping conditions that promote innovation, competitiveness, and economic growth across Europe. At the same time, the EU is positioning itself as a leading force in the green and digital transitions. This creates market opportunities for Norwegian companies with the expertise and solutions to support the EU’s ambitions.

Our Brussels office serves as a gateway for Norwegian businesses looking to expand in Europe. We have a solid understanding of EU programmes that can benefit Norwegian industry – through funding, favourable conditions, and networking opportunities. We help your company navigate EU regulations and identify strategic stakeholders involved in policy processes.

Changes in EU framework conditions affect all sectors and value chains, which is why we work with clients across industries. Our advisors have broad expertise and help identify market niches where Norwegian solutions have a competitive edge.
