Norway’s Strong Position in Sustainable Innovation
Norway is a leading force in integrating sustainable practices across industries. With over 120 member companies in the Norwegian Business Association of Singapore (NBAS), 80% in maritime, offshore, and energy sectors, the focus on innovation and sustainability is robust.
Norwegian industry leaders in Singapore, such as KONGSBERG, DNV, DNB, Telenor, and Gard, drive innovation and sustainability. By leveraging advanced technologies and promoting green initiatives, these companies support various sectors with cutting-edge solutions and digital transformation. Similarly, leading maritime companies in Singapore, like Odfjell and Wilhelmsen, excel in innovation and sustainability by utilizing state-of-the-art technologies, fostering eco-friendly practices, and enhancing operational efficiency within the maritime industry.
Beyond these industry giants, other Norwegian companies also focus strongly on SUSTAINOVATION. ECOSubsea, a newcomer to Singapore and part of NBAS’s growing membership, is revolutionizing the industry with next-generation cleaning robots. These robots clean 10 times faster and more efficiently than traditional solutions, meeting the cleaning needs of the world’s largest ships while they are bunkering. Yinson Green Technologies is partnering with Eastern Pacific Shipping to trial electric vessels, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting decarbonization. Projects like Hydroglyder and Hydromover aim to electrify Singapore’s harbor crafts for cleaner, more efficient transportation.
In other sectors, Cambi innovates in water and waste treatment, reducing energy consumption, minimizing waste, and recovering resources through technologies like thermal hydrolysis and biodigesters. Kezzler enhances product traceability, reduces counterfeiting, and minimizes waste using advanced serialization technology. Tomra drives innovation and sustainability by deploying advanced sensor-based sorting technology to optimize resource recovery and reduce waste, enhancing recycling efficiency and supporting a circular economy. StormGeo provides cutting-edge weather intelligence and decision support solutions, optimizing maritime and energy operations, enhancing efficiency, reducing fuel consumption, and promoting sustainable practices. Yara Africa & Asia fosters innovation and sustainability through the Thryve Innovation Colab in Singapore, addressing food security by supporting over 70 million smallholder farmers with climate-neutral practices and regenerative agriculture, leveraging Singapore’s innovation ecosystem to transform food systems and improve livelihoods.
These companies are just examples of the strong Norwegian presence in Singapore. Many other Norwegian companies are equally deserving of recognition for their contributions to sustainability. By participating in the EuroCham Sustainability Awards 2024, your company can join the ranks of these industry leaders and showcase your commitment to sustainable practices.
