Nores becomes a Network Partner for the Norwegian Gastronomy Foundation

Nores has entered into a partnership with the Norwegian Gastronomy Foundation, becoming a network partner in a community dedicated to elevating Norwegian gastronomy, professional expertise, and industry recruitment. We are proud of this partnership, which we believe is vital for both our members and the development of the hotel and restaurant industry in Norway.

The Norwegian Gastronomy Foundation is a key player in developing Norwegian food culture and the culinary profession. Through targeted efforts in talent development, professional expertise, and international visibility, the foundation helps strengthen quality and appeal across the entire value chain—from raw ingredients to the finished meal.

"Gastronomy is about more than just food. It is about professional pride, expertise, recruitment, and identity for the entire industry. Through this partnership, we want to contribute to long-term development that benefits our members and the industry as a whole," says Marianne Lund, CEO of Nores.

Important for the future of the industry

The hotel and restaurant industry faces significant challenges regarding recruitment, expertise, and sustainability. The work the Norwegian Gastronomy Foundation does to elevate the culinary profession, highlight the value of the trade, and develop new talent is therefore of great importance to the industry's future competitiveness.

For Nores, this network partnership is a natural extension of our role as a driver for quality and value creation in the industry on behalf of our members.

"When Norwegian gastronomy succeeds, it strengthens the entire industry—including our members. We are proud to support work that inspires, develops talent, and contributes to making hotel and restaurant careers more attractive," says Lund.

Nores’ contribution as a Network Partner

As a network partner, Nores will contribute to the Norwegian Gastronomy Foundation’s work through collaboration, visibility, and support for initiatives that promote the development of new culinary talent and professional environments, increase understanding of the role of gastronomy in value creation and tourism, and foster sustainable quality development in the hotel and restaurant industry.

The partnership aims to strengthen both professional standards and pride within the industry.

– "The commitment Nores shows to the culinary profession and the professional development surrounding the dining experience means a lot to us. It is a clear expression of shared values and an important contribution to building a larger community around the development of Norwegian gastronomy. We hope this inspires others to join the network,"says Arne Sørvig, General Manager of the Norwegian Gastronomy Foundation.
