And there is indeed a good opportunity to sell in Norway. Although small, Norway's population of 4.7 million people is among the world's wealthiest, with per capita GDP about the same as in the U.S. The wealth is more evenly distributed, so every Norwegian is an enabled consumer. Several Norwegian industrial sectors are far larger than would be expected of a country of its size. Oil and gas equipment and services, telecommunications equipment and services, information technology, medical equipment and services, and travel and tourism present outsized markets for U.S. companies.
