Mission & Goals

The Norwegian Industrial Forum for Space Activities (NIFRO) is the national industry organization formed to promote the interests and growth of Norwegian space industry. NIFRO was founded in 1986 by a group of research institutions and companies interested in space activities. Today NIFRO represents a broad range of companies in the up-stream, downstream and service segments of the space sector in Norway, including start-ups, SMEs, larger companies, universities and research institutions.

EU Legislative Interests

NIFRO's activities related to the EU are primarily targeted towards the EU Space Policy (as described, e.g. on the net site: https://ec.europa.eu/defence-industry-space/eu-space-policy_en) and other EU political priorities under the responsibility of DG DEFIS. In this context, NIFRO's primary interest is to promote the interests of the Norwegian space sector to achieve optimum results that are mutually beneficial to both EU and Norwegian interests. Political dialogue: NIFRO is the recognized voice of the Norwegian space industry for dialogue with the Norwegian government and with other national and international stakeholders. Promoting awareness of the wide-ranging benefits of the space sector. Promoting networking and cooperation: Providing a forum and creating meeting places to promote networking and collaboration among members and with other stakeholders.

Communication Activities

NIFRO's primary objective is to develop growth in Norway’s share of the global space market, by promoting the best commercial, political and public environment for the space industry in Norway.
