About NLCC

The trusted platform for business growth between Norway and Lithuania!

The Norwegian-Lithuanian Chamber of Commerce (NLCC) is a non-profit business organisation connecting Norwegian and Lithuanian companies, leaders and key stakeholders.

Since its establishment in 2009, NLCC has been building bridges between the two markets – creating trusted relationships, opening doors to new opportunities and supporting companies in developing their business across Norway and Lithuania.

Today, the relationship between our two countries has evolved. Lithuania is no longer simply a lower-cost destination for Norwegian companies. It is a dynamic EU market with strong expertise, digital capabilities, advanced manufacturing, innovation and significant potential for international partnerships.

The question is no longer simply:

How do Norwegian companies do business in Lithuania?

It is:

How can Norwegian and Lithuanian companies create value together?

Our Vision

Building trust between Norwegian and Lithuanian businesses.

We believe strong business relationships are built on trust, knowledge and meaningful connections.

Our Mission

To help companies connect, learn and grow between Norway and Lithuania.

NLCC creates a platform where businesses can build relationships, exchange knowledge, discover opportunities and develop partnerships that create long-term value.

Connect. Learn. Grow.

1. CONNECT – Create trusted introductions and business opportunities across both markets.

2. LEARN – Deliver practical market intelligence, leadership insight, political,regulatory and cultural awareness.

3. GROW –  Turn relationships into commercial, export and partnership outcomes.

We help members move beyond networking – supporting them in turning connections and knowledge into real business opportunities, partnerships and growth.

NLCC provides a platform for companies to:

➡️ Build trusted business relationships
➡️ Discover commercial and investment opportunities
➡️ Access relevant market intelligence
➡️ Connect with decision-makers and key stakeholders
➡️ Exchange knowledge and experience
➡️ Develop export and partnership opportunities
➡️ Increase their visibility within the business community
➡️ Represent and advance the interests of our members

NLCC works closely with governmental bodies, business organisations, the Norwegian Embassy and other bilateral Chambers of Commerce to strengthen economic and business relations between Norway and Lithuania.

Our Strategic Focus

The business relationship between Norway and Lithuania continues to evolve  and so does NLCC. 17 years ago, Norwegian companies often looked to Lithuania as an attractive, lower-cost location for business and investment. Today, Lithuania offers much more: high-level competence, EU market access, digital capability, advanced manufacturing, innovation and strong export potential.

This creates new opportunities for companies in both countries. Our role is to help members discover those opportunities and create value together.

Our Positioning

NLCC helps companies connect, learn and grow between Norway and Lithuania through trusted business relationships, relevant market intelligence and access to decision-makers.

We are more than a networking organisation. We are a platform for relationships, knowledge and business growth.

Our History

The idea for the Norwegian-Lithuanian Chamber of Commerce was initiated by Norwegian business people in Vilnius in midsummer 2008. On 6 March 2009, NLCC was officially established.

The Chamber was created with a clear purpose: to bring Norwegian businesses in Lithuania together so they could meet, build relationships, exchange knowledge, collaborate and do business.

More than 17 years later, that purpose remains at the heart of NLCC – while the opportunities between our two markets have grown significantly.

Today, NLCC brings together a community of Norwegian and Lithuanian companies and continues to strengthen the business relationship between the two countries.
