MISSION

NBCC's mission is to promote trade and investment between Norway and the UK, and to provide a professional and social arena for business people. NBCC provides business and networking opportunities and encourages dialogue and exchange of experiences between members.  

SERVICES

NBCC’s services have three main functions:
