The second “Export to Norway” seminar - this time in Chernivtsi

NUCC continues its regional journey - this time in Chernivtsi!

The second “Export to Norway” seminar brought together Ukrainian SMEs and municipal partners to explore concrete pathways into the Norwegian and wider Nordic markets.

NUCC continued its regional outreach with a full day in Chernivtsi, where we hosted the second seminar in our Export to Norway series. The event gathered a vibrant mix of Ukrainian SMEs from food and light industry to machinery, furniture, and broader manufacturing.

Before the seminar, the NUCC delegation held a working meeting with the Chernivtsi City Council. Together we discussed opportunities for further cooperation, export readiness, and practical steps to strengthen the international presence of local businesses.

Organized in partnership with the Department of Socio-Economic Development and Strategic Planning of the Chernivtsi City Council and hosted at the Chernivtsi Entrepreneurship Development Center, the seminar created a hands-on forum for market entry strategies and relationship-building with the Norwegian ecosystem.

What participants explored

• How to assess product readiness for Norway and the Nordics
  
• Cultural nuances in B2B communication and negotiation
  
• Routes to buyers, distributors, and industry partners
  
• Certification, logistics, and standards compliance
  
• Using international trade fairs to build visibility and trust
  

The strong turnout and engaged discussion once again showed the growing interest among Ukrainian companies in Norway, and the value of platforms where knowledge, experience, and networking meet.
