The lunchtime session will bring delegates together for market updates covering sectors including energy, energy transition, digital, supply chain, training, collaboration opportunities and more. Keynote speakers will include ONS President and CEO Leif Johan Sevland and Aberdeen Lord Provost Dr David Cameron. Organisations such as the Port of Hammerfest, Invest in Rogaland, Energy Transition Zone, Consortiq, Rambase/Hatteland Group, Scandinavian Airlines and Aberdeen International Airport will also be represented.
Commenting on plans for this year’s event, Gateway series creator Brett Jackson said: “In the run-up to the 50th ONS, it is important to take stock of the relationship between the North East of Scotland and Scandinavia and all that it has achieved during a long and fruitful history. It also gives us reason to refocus our efforts on the width and depth of future opportunities which exist across many sectors.”
Looking ahead to the 50th ONS, President and CEO Leif Johan Sevland said: “The exhibition, the programme, and the content are extremely good this year, with even more utility value this time. Those who come will get something out of it – and quickly. For the Scottish industry, the possibilities are many, and the travel time short, so we hope to see many there.
“We are also proud of our renewables programme, with a brand-new arena for the net zero market, with its own exhibition hall. Additionally, we have further improved the young arena, ensuring even better content aimed at young people than in 2022. The ONS+ programme is bigger, and we will transform downtown Stavanger into Northern Europe’s largest dance floor. We continue the discussions from ONS to the city centre. There will be relaxed gatherings, political debates, concerts, good food, and social settings in pavilions, nightclubs, and ship decks.”
The Aberdeen-Norway Gateway 2024 is supported by Aberdeen City Council, City of Stavanger, Invest Rogaland, Port of Hammerfest, Energy Transition Zone, ONS, Stronachs, Aberdeen International Airport, Scandinavian Airlines, Consortiq, Rambase/Hatteland Group.
