The United States has always been the most exciting market for Norwegian companies. The ties between the United States and Norway have been strong since the great emigration, which is marked with a large public celebration on July 4 in Vågen in Stavanger .

Now many feel that Trump as President has, in just a few months, destroyed our long-standing bond of friendship and created great uncertainty about the relationship with the United States.

Are there still opportunities hiding behind the dark information flow?

We welcome you to a pleasant evening at Tempo Vinbar in Sandnes, where we will hear from someone with a finger on the pulse of the USA.

Bulle Bech , Director, Commercial & Business Development at Maran Shuttle, and co-owner of Tempo welcomes you with the history of the wine bar.
