A Message from the Managing Director
Happy New Year!
Evidently, recharged holiday break batteries weigh a couple kilos more – which I deem a reasonable tradeoff. With julemat leftovers now fully depleted and early morning alarm clocks reactivated, a few thoughts on the year ahead.
As we return to our desks (or kitchen/cabin tables), AmCham’s ’22 marching orders have been received loudly and clearly. According to you, our thoughtful member leaders, business development, stability & transparency, market access, public-private collaboration and talent development should underpin all we do. Contributing to our recent strategic priority survey, your guidance, focus, critique and accolades are genuinely valued – and acted upon.
Whether in-person or virtual, coming AmCham meetings have been carefully designed to facilitate exchange amongst Norway’s most vibrant, innovative and deep-rooted companies – bellwethers comprising the vast transatlantic business community. Access to the decision makers who run these companies – and what they perceive as important or less so – cannot be overstated.
