Get ready for the highlight of the year!

November marks a standout date on the professional events calendar: it's time to set sail once again for Cruise with the Europeans. Together with 16 European chambers and associations, we invite professionals across the European-Australian business network to join us for an evening of fun, networking and new collaboration opportunities.

Celebrate the end of the week on a high and leave the bustle of Sydney's corporate world behind with a 2.5-hour sunset cruise on the harbour. As we glide past Sydney's iconic landmarks, enjoy delicious canapés and raise a glass with new connections, all in celebration of European-Australian business collaboration.

Attracting more than 600 guests each year, this is an evening not to be missed. Come aboard and be part of the annual Cruise with the Europeans!

Please note that there will not be a Christmas event in Sydney his year as we have both this cruise and the Norwegian Innovation in Australia event on November 17. This is a great opportunity to gift a ticket to your colleagues or business partners as the event promises great executive networking across leading companies.

Norwegian Innovation in Australia

Innovation, investment and industrial transformation

Norwegian companies are playing an increasingly visible role across some of Australia's most important areas of investment and industrial development — from advanced manufacturing and energy transition to circular economy solutions, infrastructure and global transport.

The Royal Norwegian Embassy and the Norwegian Australian Chamber of Commerce invite you to an evening bringing together Norwegian companies, Team Norway partners, Australian decision-makers and the wider business community.

At the centre of the evening will be an executive conversation with leaders from Kongsberg Defence, Yara Australia, TOMRA, and DNV, sharing their Australian journeys and giving us an insight into some of the projects, investments and opportunities they are working on right now.

Across very different industries, these companies share an interesting story: taking Norwegian technology, expertise and business models into the Australian market, while increasingly building local capability, partnerships and opportunities.

Through a fast-paced panel conversation, we will explore what they are building and developing in Australia, where they see the greatest opportunities ahead, and what they have learned from operating in the Australian market.

The formal program will be followed by a networking reception, providing an opportunity to continue the conversation and build connections across business, industry, government and the Norwegian-Australian community.
