GreenPartner Norway

GreenPartner is a professional organization acting on behalf of enterprises in the Environmental Energy & Technology sector. Our role is to contribute to innovation, co-operation and project development on behalf of the members of our organization.

GreenPartner assistance is project orientated, with a particular focus on innovation. Our organisation is aiming for projects that may generate new business, strengthen existing companies and new market possibilities as a result of two or more companies working together.

The GreenPartner services towards membership companies is more commercial than technical orientated. Our approach is based on that SME’s in different branches (within Environmental Energy & Technology sector) and position in value chain meet common challenges concerning:

• Innovation practice (what their capabilities are in terms of quality and resources in developing their products and services)
• Limited strategic capacity (in terms of organizational and financial resources to develop existing and new markets)
• Identify best available partnership (research as well as commercial environment)

GreenPartner Norway provides initial assistance such as project establishment, process assistance, guidance in private equity issues, company spin-offs and internationalization in cooperation with Innovation Norway (former Norwegian Trade Council).

Our experience from running a network of SME’s  in the Environmental Energy & Technology sector gives us the position to address challenges typical for SME’s.
