Innovation Norway is the Norwegian government’s most important instrument for innovation and development of Norwegian enterprises and industry. It has brought seven Norwegian companies to the 6th China International Import Expo (CIIE) currently held in Shanghai. Signe Brudeset, the Norwegian Ambassador to China, attended the opening ceremony of the Innovation Norway joint stand. 

Those companies are mainly engaged in the field of nutrition and health products. In recent years, the sales of such Norwegian products have grown steadily in China. “Most of the companies have their products from our clean oceans. We want to offer our products to the Chinese consumers because we believe they have a very high and sustainable quality,” Henning Kristoffersen, commercial counsellor at the Royal Norwegian Embassy in Beijing and head of Innovation Norway China, told China Today.  

Kristoffersen called the CIIE an important platform for Norwegian companies to promote their products. They are looking forward to more cooperation with Chinese partners in medical innovation and nutrition healthcare, he added.
