personnel and management personnel will be represented in these meetings to maximize the value for the FRAM
companies.
Visit 1: All companies arrive early November 2015 and attend several seminars covering topics relevant to the FRAM
program such as US IP, business culture and pricing models. There will be several tailor-made sessions with potential
clients and partners. In addition there will also be a seminar where Norwegian entrepreneurs that successfully have
built a US Shale/GoM business share their experiences.
Companies may also be linked to a local mentor to help update their business plan and value offering.
