LINC Days & Henry Bacon Seminar

We kicked off Washington Defense Week with a series of LINC sessions from April 1-2.

The current cohort of companies in the Launchpad for Innovative Norwegian Companies (LINC) program heard from U.S. service providers on market entry strategies, navigating the current political landscape, the military acquisitions process, and more.

NADIC board members Kjell Kringsjå, NAMMO and Arne Skjaerpe, Teledyne FLIR then hosted an open discussion on how Norwegian companies can succeed in the American defense market.

Thank you to our LINC speakers from Liberty Alliance, Defense Industry Advisors, UB Greensfelder, BMNT, C2 Strategies, Product Knowledge, Ness Sea, and Lockheed Martin.
