About the Chamber

Inspiring Connections
Between Norway & China

The Norwegian Chinese Chamber of Commerce (NCCC) is the membership organisation for companies trading with, investing in or holding strategic interests in China. We set the agenda, open the doors and convene the network that matters.

Our Mission

To provide a professional and social forum for those wishing to participate in the Norwegian–Chinese business and cultural communities, thus promoting business opportunities between the two countries. Our aim is to become the preferred forum for Norwegian–Chinese business participants in Norway.

A Bridge Between Two Dynamic Economies

The Norwegian Chinese Chamber of Commerce came into existence in 2006 in response to the fast growing business relevance of China to Norway. Today the trade between our countries has reached unprecedented volumes, China is now one of Norway's major trading partners.

Investments flow in both directions, and China and Norway have negotiated a bilateral trade agreement which further bolsters the cooperation between our two countries. NCCC continues to serve as a meeting point for those who want to be part of this momentum.

Membership

Four Pillars of Our Work

Everything we do at NCCC is built around four interconnected areas that together support meaningful Norwegian–Chinese collaboration.

01

Culture

Provide members with a better understanding of cultural similarities and differences in order to promote trade between Norway and China.

02

Information

Keep our members up to date on business opportunities, laws and regulations governing trade and investment between the two countries.

03

Business Promotion

Promote participation in seminars and conferences in both Norway and China, prepare delegations, and connect members to relevant organisations — public and private.

04

Cooperation

Provide a professional network for members to share experience, help each other cooperate in business, and unlock new opportunities together.

Membership

Value for Our Members

Beyond connecting people, we actively work to make membership tangibly useful.

I.

Networking Opportunities

NCCC runs an event programme that gives members access to inspiring talks by top business leaders, exclusive forums, and enjoyable socialising with the bilateral business community.

II.

Business Facilitation

A growing range of services developed in direct response to member needs — from targeted introductions to partnership support and access to NCCC's extensive bilateral network.

III.

Savings for Your Business

NCCC negotiates discounted business services on behalf of members. Relevant negotiations are underway and new arrangements are published as they become available.

IV.

Bespoke Services

Member-focused business solutions and tailored training — language services, market information, and capability-building — developed in active dialogue with our community.
