The UK more widely makes a huge range of some of the finest cheeses that money can buy.

Norway

Norway is one of five countries collectively known as ‘The Nordic Region’. Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Iceland have close ties, historically and economically. All are individualistic however and should be evaluated separately by exporting companies as well as considering the many similarities.

Norway shares borders with two of the Nordic countries; Sweden and Finland, and with Russia. The Norwegian language is similar to Danish and Swedish and understandable to all three nationalities.

Significant opportunities exist in the following areas:

•Offshore/Energy
•Quality Consumer Goods
•Telecommunications
•Biotechnology
•Medical Equipment
