The first meeting of the Forum that took place on Monday 9th of November, was attended by most Norwegian companies that are represented in Greece. The purpose of the Forum is to enhance ties with Norway, while building a network and developing good relationships among them.
Nine companies attended the event, which was held at the Embassy. Lars Henrik Knutrud and Pål Aslak Hungnes from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs came from Oslo to speak about the Norwegian view on CSR and discussed relevant issues with the participants.
- The startup of the Business Forum was a success and the Embassy is planning a new gathering in the Spring or early Summer 2010, said Ambassador Sverre Stub.
