The Norwegian-African Business Association (NABA) is a business network that promotes trade, investment and partnerships between Norway and African markets. Established in 2012, the association works with companies and institutions to strengthen commercial cooperation and business opportunities across the continent.

NABA’s members include Norwegian and international companies active in African markets across sectors such as energy, finance, infrastructure, technology and agriculture. The association has grown from its founding companies to a broad network of businesses and institutions engaged in Africa-related activities.

NABA supports its members through networking, knowledge sharing and events focused on business opportunities in Africa. Activities include seminars, roundtables, business missions, investor conferences and meetings with policymakers and industry leaders.
