NADIC Roadshow

Following the success of this year's inaugural NADIC East Coast Roadshow, we are mapping out a West Coast Roadshow from March 9-19, 2026.

The NADIC Roadshow will take a group of Norwegian companies from Seattle to San Diego to participate in Defense Tech Showcases near U.S. military bases, U.S. Defense Prime Site Visits, and Venture Capital Pitch Days, as well as several networking events.

The success of the Roadshow relies on participating member companies to tap into their military & defense tech networks and actively support us in building the right audience at each stop. By creating a cross pollination between each companies’ networks we aim to create a value add for everyone joining. 

NADIC would facilitate the rental Suburbans, venue rentals, networking receptions/socials, as well as collaborate with local U.S. partners & Official Norway to strengthen the turnout at each stop. We will ask for a small participation fee to contribute towards these costs.

Hotel/accommodation fees and air travel is covered by each participant.
