Overview

Norway is a modern, highly advanced country with a small, but very strong economy, and provides excellent opportunities for U.S. trade and investment. Per capita GDP is among the highest in the world, boosted by decades of success in the oil and gas sector, and in other industries like renewables, shipping, maritime, fisheries, and aquaculture. There are many emerging opportunities in aerospace, transportation, cleantech, fintech, medtech, and life sciences. Norway is already a significant investor in the United States, and the U.S. economy, considered the world’s largest with an annual GDP of $20 trillion, offers a wealth of opportunities for further growth. Whether you are new to exporting or are already expanding to new markets, our Embassy team offers businesses a full range of expertise in international trade and investment, including programs and services to promote and protect American trade and investment interests in Norway, as well as programs and services for Norwegian investors looking to set up or grow their business in the United States.

Overseas Security Advisory Council (OSAC)

In 1985, the Overseas Security Advisory Council (OSAC), a joint venture between the Department of State and the U.S. private sector, created by then Secretary of State George P. Shultz under the Federal Advisory Committee Act to interact on overseas security problems of mutual concern. Objectives of this joint venture are: to establish a continuing liaison between security officials in both the private and public sector; to provide for regular exchanges of information concerning developments in the overseas security environment; recommend methods for planning and implementation of security programs abroad; and recommend methods to mitigate risks to American private sector interests worldwide. These objectives remain in the current OSAC Charter.
