In response to the Norwegian Government’s APA 2011 licence award announcement on January 17th 2012, StrategicFit has created an NCS APA 2011 Licence Award Poster. It is a quick and easy reference into the licences awarded to provide insights and comparisons on the individual companies, geographic areas, NPD obligations and much more.
