Present and future challenges such as climate change and political instability makes Nordic cooperation more important than ever. The potential to lift business collaborations on a Nordic level is high, creating powerful positions on a global scale. The region is a leading hotspot of R&D and innovation offering companies tangible opportunities in co-creating competitiveness and contributing to a sustainable development in the Nordics and beyond.
The Nordic countries have very much in common. As small open economies well integrated in the international economy, the markets are exposed to external volatility. On the contrary, the Nordic region itself creates a highly dynamic economy. About one fourth of Swedish trade is represented by the Nordics and a significant share of foreign direct investments from the Nordics also goes to the region. Focusing on innovation, sustainability, co-creation and equality the markets together create an extraordinarily well suited environment for cooperation. The demand for Nordic business co-labs is surging, creating an opportunity to build powerful positions in global markets and utilize the region as an extended home market. The Nordics can and should increasingly be utilized as a formidable platform for companies to expand their business in and to use as a brand that meets the demands of an increasingly purpose-driven world.
