How British and Norwegian companies succeed when setting up business across the pond

Expanding Between the UK and Norway: Practical Insights for Growth

The UK and Norway share more than a coastline. Strong trading relationships, longstanding partnerships and a spirit of collaboration have made both countries attractive destinations for businesses looking to grow internationally.

Join Marks & Clerk, Simonsen Vogt Wiig and the British-Norwegian Chamber of Commerce (BNCC) for an afternoon seminar exploring the opportunities and challenges of expanding between the UK and Norway.

This practical event will bring together legal, commercial and industry experts to share insights on what businesses need to know when entering and growing in a new market.

We'll focus on two areas required for successful expansion:

• Intellectual Property – how to identify, protect and maximise the value of the IP assets that support growth and market entry.
• Digital Compliance – understanding the regulatory and operational considerations for digital products, services and business models operating across borders.

The event will conclude with a panel discussion exploring the practical realities of expansion between the UK and Norway, including common challenges, lessons learned and the cultural differences that can influence business success in each market.

Following the formal programme, guests are invited to stay for drinks and networking with fellow business leaders, advisers and professionals from across both markets.
