Yesterday, leading voices from Norwegian and French industry, government, and research gathered in Paris to accelerate the green industrial collaboration! 🇳🇴🤝🇫🇷   Hosted by the French-Norwegian Chamber of Commerce, Ambassade de France en Norvège, Ambassade de Norvège en France, and Innovation Norway, the 3rd edition of our Green Industry Forum focused on strategies and partnerships for industrial value chains, decarbonization, innovation, and financing mechanisms for driving the green shift.   Norwegian Minister of Trade and Industry, Cecilie T. Myrseth, and French Minister for Industry and Energy, Marc Ferracci, opened the Forum, underlining the close and long-standing relations between our two countries, and expressing their wishes to deepen the cooperation further.   We were proud to see BRGM and The Geological Survey of Norway signing an MoU, confirming the will to strengthen the bilateral cooperation in the key sector of critical minerals and mining, and NORCE Norwegian Research Centre and NAVAL GROUP signing a cooperation agreement on maritime research.   Thank you to all our speakers, panelists, participants for making the day a success!

Exciting News from Hydro in Spain! This week marked the start of the construction of Hydro's flagship aluminium recycling plant at Torija, Spain. This state-of-the-art facility represents a significant step towards enhancing the European circular economy. With an annual production capacity of 120,000 tonnes of extrusion ingots, the plant will serve key industries such as transport, automotive, building, construction, and energy. By recycling up to 70,000 tonnes of post-consumer scrap annually, they are committed to reducing energy consumption and emissions. This project not only strengthens their recycling capacity but also creates new jobs and provides significant value to customers. It's a win for Castilla-La Mancha, Spain, and Europe! Congratulations to Norsk Hydro on this significant milestone!
