In a landmark moment for Norway–India relations, the recently concluded Norway India Business Day (NIBD) 2025 in Oslo became a defining platform for collaboration, innovation, and cross-border growth. Organized by the Norway India Chamber of Commerce and Industry (NICCI), the two-day event unfolded against the backdrop of the historic Trade & Economic Partnership Agreement (TEPA), which is set to transform trade and investment ties between the two nations. With the promise of reduced barriers, accelerated investments, and stronger bilateral cooperation, TEPA has already begun to reshape conversations, and NIBD 2025 arrived at just the right time to harness that momentum.
Kilowott was honored to be part of this dynamic gathering, which brought together a vibrant mix of business leaders, policymakers, innovators, and entrepreneurs from both India and Norway. The event provided a space for meaningful dialogue on sustainable innovation and digital transformation while reinforcing the urgent need for global partnerships that drive real impact.
Adding weight to the proceedings was the participation of the Embassy of India, the Norwegian Embassy in New Delhi, and the Royal Norwegian Consulate General in Mumbai, whose presence highlighted the depth of commitment at both government and industry levels.
The Trade & Economic Partnership Agreement (TEPA), recently finalized between India and the European Free Trade Association (EFTA), of which Norway is a key member, is a game-changer. By breaking down trade barriers and opening new investment pathways, TEPA is poised to unlock opportunities across technology, digital commerce, sustainable energy, and innovation-led industries.
As the momentum from the Trade & Economic Partnership Agreement (TEPA) continues to shape opportunities between Norway and India, the Norway India Business Day 2025 has set the tone for deeper collaboration and sustainable innovation. Kilowott is proud to stand alongside industry leaders and policymakers in this transformative journey, committed to driving cross-border partnerships that will define the next chapter of growth for both nations.
