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
