The Norwegian Delegation to OTC 2017
The annual OTC exhibition and conference in Houston is a very important venue, if not the most important for Norwegian oil and gas companies that seek to export Norwegian technology and services internationally. It is in the industry’s interest to give as many companies as possible the opportunity to attend.
Last year, OTC Houston was a grand experience with lots of opportunities for networking, technical updates and market updates. The Norwegian delegation had almost 200 participants, and Norwegians travelling by separate arrangements also regularly visited delegation events.
A main goal is to meet potential American customers and partners, but many Norwegians also underline the value of meeting interesting Norwegian customers or partners that they otherwise have difficulties arranging meetings with.
