Introduction Their Royal Highnesses Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette-Marit are planning to visit Brazil 16 19 November 2015, accompanied by Norwegian Minister of Trade and Industry, Ms Monica Mæland and a business delegation. Participation Fees The fee for each member of the business delegation is NOK 7,500. An invoice will be issued after the registration deadline. Participants must plan and pay for their own travel and accommodation. The participation fee covers all official meals, rent of seminar facilities, organised transportation as well as the cost for two guests at the social event. Flights to Brazil For practical reasons, we will not make collective travel arrangements, as many members of a delegation often wish to add individual meetings and visits both before and after the official programme. Visa on Arrival Norwegian citizens do not need a visa to visit Brazil.

Deadline 23.October 2015. Please book your room as soon as possible Programme in Rio de Janeiro Brazil is the seventh largest economy in the world and has experienced strong growth over a long period of time. The production of oil from its giant offshore fields is steadily increasing, and the Norwegian maritime and offshore industry has earned a strong position in the market. It is also a major market for renewable energy, export of Norwegian seafood, and major industry players in several other sectors are well positioned for further growth. The visit of Their Royal Highnesses Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette-Marit will be used to further strengthen our position in the market as well as creating platforms for spin-offs and new projects from the relevant sectors. The visit will also support the work of already established businesses in the country. It is demanding to do business in the Brazilian market, and local content in deliveries is of great importance. Establishing production and investing in Brazil is therefore both a barrier and an opportunity in the long term engagement in the market. Information on financing, tax, grants and other instruments are therefore of importance. Also, in a time where the market challenges are more visible than ever, it is important to think long-term and explore new opportunities. Page 2 of 12

Our main Brazilian partners for these seminars will include major players like PETROBRAS, BNDES (the Brazilian development bank), FINEP (Brazilian innovation agency) and Vale (Global mining company) as well as seafood partners and Brazilian start-up companies.
