The Norwegian Maritime Business provides jobs directly to approximately 90,000 people and generates products and services worth approximately NOK 500 billion annually. A significant part of revenues is provided by the export of goods and services. It is estimated that approximately 70% to 80% of the revenues of the Norwegian maritime business come from exports.

The Norwegian maritime business is naturally driven by the country’s location on the second longest coastline in the world. Norway has always been driven by nature, especially the ocean, say the Norwegians. The country has the second longest coastline in the world after Canada, with a length of 100,915 km, including all islands. The North Sea provides energy, innovation, food resources and products and services exported around the world.- Our current climate challenges impact many people beyond Norway’s borders, and the need for innovative solutions is more urgent than ever. The good news is that Norway has already made great progress in reducing emissions, Innovasjon Norge reported after business meetings. The list is long and includes cutting-edge technologies in offshore wind, green hydrogen, aquaculture, electric ferries and workboats, and green port infrastructure. Not to mention autonomous ships, lots of IT solutions and many, many more – informs Innovasjon Norge.

Innovative Norwegians and Polish clusters Maritime transport, oil and gas, the offshore wind industry and fish are not the only export products of the Norwegian maritime cluster, as members of the Baltic Maritime and Space Cluster could see for themselves during study visits and meetings with companies delegated by Innovasjon Norge to an industry meeting during BALTEXPO 2023 fair.
