Singapore Royal Norwegian Embassy Full time

Norway and Singapore are long-time ocean partners, and the maritime and offshore industries are of key importance to a large number of Norwegian businesses in Singapore. In the past several years, these sectors have been impacted by disruptive technologies. Important drivers behind this change have been decarbonisation, digital technology, data and autonomy/A1. This development has accelerated as a consequence of the ongoing pandemic, leading to several new opportunities as well as the emergence of many new solutions providers. Singapore and Norway are in the forefront of this development. Singapore has one of the world's busiest harbours, as well as a large maritime and offshore cluster, including several world-leading yards. It has been ranked as the leading maritime capitol in the world several years in a row by DNV/Menon. In the same ranking, Oslo tops the list on technology. Singapore is therefore both a natural market as well as an important technology partner for Norwegian companies. We are working closely with Singaporean and Norwegian stakeholders to realise these opportunities.

Similarly, the energy sector is in transition, leading to a diversification of the project portfolios at the large yards in Singapore. Approximately 50% of projects at Sembcorp Marine and Keppel are presently within the LNG and offshore renewables segments. Hydrogen is an area that is also receiving increased attention.

Innovation Norway constitutes the commercial section of the Royal Norwegian Embassy in Singapore and provides a broad range of services to Norwegian companies, authorities & organisations - e.g. market analysis, customer/partner search, business deveopment, market entry assistance and related promotional activities.

Innovation Norway Singapore is presently looking for a Senior Market Advisor for Maritime & Offshore to help Norwegian companies realise these opportunities.

The Employee's scope of work includes, but is not limited, to the following:

- Market research and report writing on the maritime and offshore energy sectors
- Identifying problem statements/opportunities in these markets and mobilise relevant Norwegian solution providers
- Advise companies on suitable market entry strategies
- Partnership search
- Meeting arrangements and accompaniment
- Organising trade delegations, seminars, exhibitions and other promotional events
- Creating arenas for long-term collaboration between companies in Norway and Singapore
- Expanding and maintaining relevant networks in Singapore and Norway

Required qualifications, experience and competence
- Higher education, technical or commercial, within a relevant field
- Furthermore, good communication and interpersonal skills are required and motivation for high level of activity, plus the ability to solve ad hoc problems on a daily basis
- Background from international business advisory, business development or technology development
- Strong network in the maritime/offshore industries or other relevant sectors in Singapore and the region, particularly the yard industry. Knowlege and network in the Norwegian maritime and offshore industries an asset
