Join us for an engaging discussion on the value of Norwegian origin and how export-oriented companies can leverage it to enhance their international success.

We will hear from one of the world's leading experts in nation branding, Simon Anholt, as he presents his perspective and the Nation Brands Index.

The value of a country’s origins is essential in shaping positive perceptions, attracting investment and tourism, and driving export growth. A strong national brand enhances a country’s reputation and global competitiveness.

We also have an expert panel where we will hear from leading researchers from both NHH and BI on global branding, as well as perspectives from Innovation Norway and one of Norway’s most successful ski equipment producers.

Together, we will discuss how Norwegian origins can serve as a powerful competitive advantage to strengthen Norway’s position on the global stage.
