Business in Houston and USA

Rosenkildehuset, Strandkaien 6, 4005 Stavanger

Påmeldingsfrist: 23.mar 22:00

Gratis deltakelse

Houston is the energy capital of the United States. The Biden administration has adopted the Inflation Reduction Act to accelerate energy transformation. We will get visitors from Houston, Select USA and AmCham telling us about new opportunities.

Houston has been Stavanger's twin city since 1982. Long before, there were close ties within the energy sector, and the cooperation has gradually been extended to health technology, medicine, academia, and research. An important partner for Norwegian companies considering establishing operations in Houston is the Greater Houston Partnership. For the USA as a holistic market, Select USA and the American Chamber of Commerce can be useful players for mapping out new opportunities.

In this breakfast meeting, you will meet all three organisations, both from the stage and with the opportunity to discuss one to one. The United States has passed a formidable package to trigger the pace of clean energy use. What opportunities apply to Norwegian companies that want to establish themselves in the USA?
