We are pleased to invite you to the 14th Norwegian Seafood Gala 2025, a proud annual tradition and one of the most prestigious celebrations of Norwegian culture and business presence in China.

Hosted by Team Norway—led by Innovation Norway and the Norwegian Business Association (NBA) China, and supported by the Royal Norwegian Embassy in Beijing, the Royal Norwegian Consulate General in Shanghai, and the Norwegian Seafood Council—this year's gala will take place on Friday, November 7, 2025, at the centrally located St. Regis Jingan, Shanghai.

Strategically timed to coincide with the China International Import Expo (CIIE), the gala will bring together around 500 distinguished guests, including corporate executives, business partners, and senior Chinese and Norwegian government representatives. This gathering provides an excellent opportunity to experience an authentic, high-quality Norwegian evening while strengthening important business relationships.

This year, we are taking the experience to a new level—transitioning the event into a Seafood Gala, with enhanced branding, a more elegant dress code, and a deepened focus on creating an immersive Norwegian experience.

Guests will enjoy a carefully crafted five-course Norwegian seafood dinner, curated and prepared by an acclaimed chef with strong ties to Norway, showcasing the very best of Norway's premium seafood. Additionally, a special live performance by a Norwegian artist will provide a cultural highlight for the evening. Adding to the gala's engaging atmosphere, a professional Norwegian MC with a background in drama and performing arts will guide guests through the evening with charm and enthusiasm.

The Seafood Gala is more than a dinner; it is a celebration of Norway's exceptional seafood, cultural heritage, and commitment to Sino-Norwegian cooperation. It offers a unique platform for Norwegian companies to host and connect with their Chinese counterparts, reinforcing both professional and cultural bonds.

We warmly encourage Norwegian companies to invite their Chinese partners and associates to this memorable evening. The dinner offers an excellent opportunity to strengthen both professional and cultural ties while celebrating the partnership between Norway and China.

Due to limited seating, please register at your earliest convenience.
