NORDIC ECUADORIAN BUSINESS PORTAL
The Nordic Ecuadorian Chamber of Commerce, CCEN, is your gateway in Ecuador to get information about demand and supply of goods and services, regulations, investments and possibilities of businesses in general.
Who are we?
The CCEN is a no governmental, not for profit, organization based in Ecuador integrated by Danish, Finnish, Icelandic, Norwegian, Swedish and Ecuadorian companies, investors and business people directed to strength the commercial, technological, academic and cultural relations between these countries. Very early the CCEN became a nexus and a reference point in the discussion of central matters included in public policies regarding trade, investments and rules of the game in general.
Since 2007, the CCEN has built up a net system of national and international relationships: professional, entrepreneurial, governmental, diplomatic, legislative and academic that in coordination with its support entities and other stake holders has permitted CCEN to play a key role in the organization of public and private events within a framework of corporative responsibility, fair trade and sustainability (www.sewc2012.com).
