Norwegian-American Chamber of Commerce Houston Chapter
The Norwegian-American Chamber of Commerce Houston Chapter is the premier forum for Norwegian and American member companies engaged in international trade and market expansion in the Houston and greater Gulf Coast Region of the United States. The Chamber creates networking opportunities and value-added business programs that facilitate access to business leaders, government representatives and entities, and other policy-level decision makers.
​
Our chapter leads Team Norway, a network-based collaboration led by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Fisheries between actors in the private and public sectors to promote Norwegian business interests worldwide. We also work in partnership with NACC Florida and New York Chapters.
​
Houston and the greater Gulf Coast Region has been a focus for a growing number of Norwegian firms that have discovered sizable industrial and consumer markets for Norwegian technology and services. At the same time, U.S.-based companies are becoming increasingly involved in Norwegian markets, with emphasis on offshore and oil-related industries.
​
The Houston Chapter was formed in 1973 to aid in developing mutually beneficial cooperation between its Norwegian and American members. The membership comprises mainly Norwegian and American companies, with the majority representing such interest as shipping and transportation, offshore engineering, oil and gas exploration and production, electronics and electrical equipment, information technology, banking, financial consulting, accounting and law.
​
The office of the Houston Chapter of NACC is located at the DNV offices in Houston. The Chamber also works closely with the Greater Houston Partnership and, thus, is well placed to assist members in affairs related to Norwegian-American businesses, as well as helping new members make initial contacts in the community.
