French-Norwegian – Green Industry Forum 2024
16 January 2024, 09:00 - 18:30 GMT+01:00
A French-Norwegian approach aims to address challenges and find solutions for a greener industry through bilateral cooperation. This approach aims to decarbonize existing industries throughout the entire value chain and foster the creation of new green industries.
Our ambition is to create a foundation for French-Norwegian leadership successfully driving the green industry shift. The Forum provides an arena to develop dialogue between policy makers, industries, R&D and financial institutions, and advance commercial partnerships and binding cooperation agreements between France and Norway on a political and industrial level.
