Defence Breakfast – Oslo
At our Defence Breakfast, you’ll hear three short, practical presentations on topics that are key for you as a supplier to the defence sector – all served alongside breakfast and a good cup of coffee.
The major focus on defence and emergency preparedness in Norway and Europe presents significant opportunities for Norwegian businesses. For companies wishing to establish a foothold in this market, knowledge of the defence sector, defence contracts and procurement processes is essential. At the same time, the Armed Forces’ needs and priorities are constantly changing – influenced by EU and EEA regulations, the security policy situation and developments in the threat and risk landscape. At this defence breakfast, we will focus on three key topics that we believe are central to you as an existing or potential supplier to the defence sector.
Presentations are held in Norwegian.
