Sales driven B2B activities

The Innovation Norway B2B team plans every year for sales driven B2B activities.

Our ambition behind each activity should be at least one of the following point:

• The activity will help us reach out to the relevant tour operators we wish to work with in the long-term.
• The activity will help up educate the local travel trade in the direction of our strategy.
• The activity will help generate sales and help Norwegian tourism industry to get increase business via the B2B segment.
• The activity will help Norwegian tourism industry to be able to develop the right products for our international guests, by keeping up with the market situations.
• The activity will help Norwegian tourism industry to adapt their products to our strategy and get an understanding how to implement evt. changes in a B2B perspective.

These activities can be workshops with pre-booked one to one meetings, B2B fairs, roadshows, seminars, networking events etc.

Some activities are targeting buyers from one market while others are targeting buyers from several markets (international).
 

Planned activities

Tailor-made activities

Some markets offer the possibility to join a tailor-made activity. This is an offer for suppliers who:
Do not find any of our planned B2B activities suitable for them
Are looking for contacts within a specific niche target group

Who can we offer this service to? 

• SME's that can use this as an introduction to the market.
• Companies looking for niche buyers in the market, buyers who are not invited in our other planned activities.
• Bedriftsnettverk/product constellations that have a need to marked/sell a specific concept in the market. 

Capacity

IN has limited capacity and needs to prioritize planned activities and day to day job. We must therefore limit the offer to 2 tailor made activities per marked per year. 

Planning

In order to provide a good service, the request must come to the IN local office in good time in advance.
