About Norwegian Risk Forum
Established by NRCI in 2010, Norwegian Risk Forum was an annual geopolitical conference held in Oslo over a period of 15 years. It provided a dedicated forum for examining geopolitical risks and international business opportunities, bringing together decision-makers and business leaders for informed discussion of geopolitical and strategic developments shaping the global business environment.
The conference brought together distinguished participants from industry, finance, academia and diplomacy. Its intimate format combined expert presentations with panel discussions, fostering an exchange of perspectives on the implications of geopolitical developments for international business and international strategy. All proceedings were conducted in English.
Meetings were held under the Chatham House Rule, enabling participants to use the information shared while preserving the confidentiality of speakers’ and other participants’ identities and affiliations. This framework encouraged candid dialogue, the exchange of insights and thoughtful consideration of strategic challenges and opportunities.
As programme chair, NRCI’s founder and CEO Arne Elias Corneliussen was responsible for selecting the annual conference themes and inviting leading analysts from around the world. The conference themes reflected significant geopolitical developments, emerging business and infrastructure trends, and structural changes influencing international investment, trade and economic integration across Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Latin America and Europe.
The intellectual foundation of Norwegian Risk Forum was NRCI’s continuous monitoring and analysis of international economic drivers, geopolitical developments and evolving risk dynamics at national, regional and global levels. These insights informed the conference themes and shaped its annual programmes.
