We hope you'll enjoy reading this very first Newsletter from NBC!


Norwegian Business Council

Newsletter 01/2016

 

Welcome!

This is the very first edition of what we hope will become many NBC newsletters. In these newsletters we will briefly recap our events, let you know what is in the pipeline for the immediate future and also perhaps provide some links to news and interesting reads about this region and events we think can be relevant for our members. Hope you enjoy the read!


Let's start at the beginning - The creation of NBC

On 13th of March 2016, Norwegian Business Council received a permit from the Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

NBC was honored to be presented the permit by Senior Vice President Commercial, Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Industry H.E. Mr. Atiq Nasib and having H.E. Ambassador Jens Eikaas there with us for the ceremony.

This permit means that Norwegian Business Council is now formally recognized by the Chamber as a legal entity and thereby entitled to carry out its activities in Dubai. NBC is a not for profit organization that is formed by Norwegian companies in Dubai in order to facilitate business for Norwegian companies in Dubai.

   
 

The Annual General Meeting

On 11th of April, NBC held its very first General Meeting! All the 20 founding companies were invited, and we had the pleasure of hosting our ambassador H.E. Jens Eikaas, Mr. Saeed Al Najjar from Chamber of Commerce and Konsul Jostein Korsaeth as observers to the assembly. The AGM elected the Administrative Board, which you can find on http://nbcuae.org/about/admboard.html


So we are up and running, and as you can see on the right hand side of this newsletter we've already started working to bring you wide range of events!
