Greeting from the Norwegian Ambassador to Estonia,
H.E. Ms. Cecilie Annette Willoch
Norway and Estonia have developed a strong economic relationship over the last 27 years, and Norway is an important source of foreign investments in Estonia. Norwegian companies are involved in a broad range of business activities in Estonia, and the potential for new partnerships is great, in particular, related to ICT, innovation and green growth.
NECC is a key meeting place for Norwegian-Estonian business interests. NECC is also an important partner in the Embassy’s efforts to stimulate trade and commercial relationships between Norway and Estonia.
I recommend companies with an interest in trade and economic relations between Norway and Estonia to join NECC and take part in their activities.
