For 10 years, NCE Subsea has contributed to this impressive history and to make this important industry known to the general public, media and decision makers.
In 2015, we took a step forward as we achieved status as Global Centre of Expertise (GCE). Being given a GCE status is a strong acknowledgement of our work and results, and we are now eager to continue our efforts to implement our GCE ambitions and strategy.
GCE Subsea’s ambition has always been to function as a unifying organization for the Norwegian subsea industry and reinforce its status as a global knowledge hub. The GCE status gives us the resources we need to achieve these ambitions
Our main objective will be collaboration to strengthen the cluster’s competitive advantages in the global market, and realize sustainable growth and value creation.

One GCE Subsea focus area will be international collaboration with neighboring value chains in order to supply the Norwegian subsea industry with new qualifications. This can increase the rate of innovation and competitiveness and open up opportunities in new markets for the use of Norwegian subsea expertise.
We believe that our new GCE status will result in long-term and increased funding for our activities and the industry. This means that we can speed up our long-terms efforts to implement our strategy for the Norwegian subsea industry. As GCE Subsea, we will have the opportunity to assist the industry with the efficiency measures that are necessary in order to increase the competitiveness of the Norwegian industry. The main areas where we will increase our focus are on cost-efficiency, international markets, research and development collaboration and new related markets outside the oil and gas industry.
