Ukrainian Business in Norway: how to enter the Norwegian market and build trust

On 6 November, Nordic Club UA, together with Ukrainian Business Club Norway (UBC Norway) and SMB Norge, invites Ukrainian entrepreneurs and professionals to a business meeting in Oslo.

The aim of the meeting is to help Ukrainian entrepreneurs integrate into the Norwegian business community through practical knowledge, expert experience and professional connections.

It is a chance not only to gain practical knowledge, but also to grow your professional network and find new opportunities to develop your business in Norway.

1. What barriers keep Ukrainian entrepreneurs from realising their potential in Norway?
2. Which legal mistakes should you avoid when starting and running a business?
3. How do you find Norwegian clients, understand the local business culture and build trust?

1. SMB Norge and Ukrainian Business Club Norway — an introduction to the UBC Norway initiative and the opportunities for Ukrainian entrepreneurs to integrate into the Norwegian business community and gain access to expertise, professional contacts and resources.
2. Nordic Club UA: “What is holding back the entrepreneurial potential of Ukrainians in Norway?” — an analytical look at the potential of the Ukrainian business community, up-to-date statistics and the key barriers to starting and growing a business in Norway.
3. Expert session 1: legal mistakes to avoid — choosing a legal form for your business, contracts, an entrepreneur’s liability, employment and common legal risks.
4. Expert session 2: entering the Norwegian market — how to understand Norwegian clients, position your services, build trust and find opportunities to grow your business.
5. Panel discussion and Q&A — together with experts and representatives of the organisations, we will discuss language and cultural barriers, business ethics, client trust and the challenges foreign entrepreneurs face. Participants will be able to ask their own questions.
6. Networking — we will round off the evening with informal conversation and introductions to entrepreneurs, experts and representatives of the Norwegian business community.
