There are no apparent reasons for leading a different policy towards companies with foreign ownership. The governments in the Nordic countries should encourage initiatives that attract this type of companies.

It is by no means given from nature that the Nordic countries should be among the richest societies in the world. But the Nordic countries have, especially since the breakthrough of the industrial and modern age, shown themselves capable of steady development and renewal. Co-operation between industry, government, academia and civil society has been one of the defining characteristics for the Nordic countries’ development in this achievement. Nordic co-operation is in this sense a natural ingredient to the Nordic way of development. http://nordicinnovation.org/no/publikasjoner/mid-term-evaluation-of-nordic-innovation-policy-2005-2010/ Thu, 10 Mar 2011 17:35:33 GMT http://nordicinnovation.org/no/publikasjoner/413/ http://nordicinnovation.org/no/publikasjoner/413/ Thu, 10 Mar 2011 17:34:23 GMT http://nordicinnovation.org/no/publikasjoner/regional-trajectories-to-the-knowledge-economy-nordic-european-comparisons-rekene/ http://nordicinnovation.org/no/publikasjoner/regional-trajectories-to-the-knowledge-economy-nordic-european-comparisons-rekene/ Thu, 10 Mar 2011 17:33:49 GMT http://nordicinnovation.org/no/publikasjoner/nowatech-nordic-water-technology-verification-centers-nt-tech-report-619/ In the NOWATECH project, co-ordinated methods for environmental technology verification (ETV) have been developed and implemented at three centers, and the centers have conducted in total 10 pilot verifications.
