Nordic Growth & Capital Attraction

Program 2025 - 2027 Active

The focus in this program is two-fold. One part of the program focuses on internationalization of Nordic companies and scaling of Nordic sustainable solutions internationally. The other part focuses on accelerating access to private and public capital for Nordic sustainable solutions that are ready to be introduced on international markets.  

We are working towards this program mission through three innovation areas:  

  • Leveraging Nordic Strengths: Collaboration between Nordic actors is key to building sustainable and competitive value chains. By bringing together businesses, research communities, and innovation clusters, we can promote shared solutions that strengthen the Nordic region’s global competitiveness. 
  • Attract capital for sustainable growth: Access to financing is crucial for turning ideas into reality and scaling up innovative solutions. The Nordic region has the potential to become a leading hub for mobilizing private capital by enhancing collaboration between public and private actors. 
  • Promote Nordic solutions globally: The focus is on creating attractive opportunities for Nordic companies to scale their innovations and contribute to the global and Nordic transition towards sustainable societies.
