Congratulations to our Young Entrepreneur class of 22’! First of all, we want to thank you all for participating in our program this year. Welcome to our alumni of more than 120 other “ambassadors” for Ukraine and Norway!

This year has been a different one for all of us, and especially Ukraine. With your openness, interest, hard work and contributions, you are indirectly helping Ukraine under these pressuring circumstances. You have identified and found new areas of possible cooperation, connected with companies, created new synergies and networks and put Ukraine on the map for many new people. We are very proud of you all.

Here at NUCC we are not ashamed to also be very proud of our Young Entrepreneur program entering its 7th year so far. We believe it is just as important as it is inspiring. As a Chamber of Commerce, we believe in building bridges and connecting people and ideas through our differences, in ways to learn how to speak the same language, given our different backgrounds. We believe in possibilities – and this program helps reveal them.

We would like to thank Nord University and High North Center for Business and Governance, as well as Oslo International Hub, NHO, Innovation Norway, Validé, Proneo, Mid-Norway Chamber of Commerce and Industry for cooperation. Also a big thank you to all the companies, lecturers, professors, and everyone else assisting us with our program – providing us with knowledge, know-how, new ideas and tons of inspiration. By opening up for our Young Entrepreneurs, you are also opening up for the future!
