Mozambique and Norway have been collaborating in the energy sector for more than 40 years. In November 2018 the President of Mozambique, H.E. Filipe Nyusi visited Norway and took part in the Mozambique-Norway Energy Investment Forum hosted by NABA, NORWEP, Confederation of Economic Association of Mozambique (CTA) and the Norwegian Embassy in Mozambique.
The private sector collaboration was further strengthened last week in relation to the official visit by HRH Crown Prince Haakon of Norway. The Norwegian interest is growing, especially within the energy sector, due to the large gas discoveries made by Mozambique. In the renewable energy sector, NABA member Scatec Solar has set up the country's largest solar power park.
28 Norwegian companies took part in last week's business seminar, together with Mozambican counterparts, and government representatives from Norway and Mozambique.

In 2016, when Norwegian Minister of Foreign Affairs Børge Brende visited Mozambique, NABA signed an MoU with Confederation of Economic Association of Mozambique (CTA) - and this partnership gives NABA members access to new projects and insights about the business opportunities in Mozambique.
NABA is looking forward to further strengthen Mozambique-Norway business relations. Some of the NABA members present in Mozambique:
