Startups are a necessity for having scaleups and Scaleups are a necessity for value creation!

The message was clear today when our Managing Director Svein Berg spoke about the importance of scale-ups for the Nordic countries at Open Innovation Lab of Norway's December meet up.

Svein Berg also busted a few scale-up myths and highlighted that:

- scaleups are important for Nordic countries value creation
- scaleups create a significant amount of jobs
- scaleups mainly grow due to organic growth
- scaleups are mainly domestically owned
- sweden accounts for over 50% of total VC funding into Nordic scaleups
- health, semiconductors and transportation sectors are the most highly valued among the Top1000 Nordic Scaleups, however fintech leads by employment
- just 17% of founding teams in the Top1000 scalups have at least one female founder

How can Nordic companies align their products with EU legislation?

Nordic Innovation supports the Nordic Circular Design Programme which aims to equip Nordic companies for the transition to circular business models and align them with the forthcoming Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR).

The first live event took place yesterday with more than 30 companies from across the Nordics learning about EU legislation within circular economy and worked on circular design strategies.

It was great to see such engagement from the companies who generally expressed that the program is a useful and very needed contribution to their circular transition.

Thanks a lot to our partners Ethica Finland, DDC – Danish Design Center, Cradlenet and Norwegian Centre of Circular Economy (NCCE) for a well-organized and insightful workshop!

With just six years left to meet EU’s green public procurement standards, there is a need for effective tools and best practices now! This program is a great example of that! 🙏

Did you know that your smartphone can include up to 60 different metals that require mining?

How can you make sure that these materials are ethically produced and environmentally responsible? 🌍

👉 Geoscientists are developing methods to analyze a metals DNA! 👈

Learn more about this process and why it is important in this short film. The film is produced as a part of Nordic Innovation's Sustainable Minerals program that aims to make the Nordics a leading region in sustainable mineral production.

The Nordics - a Silicon Valley for Minerals?

Last week was a good week for the Nordic mining industry!

The first Nordic Forum on Raw Materials took place in Stockholm and gathered experts from the mineral and raw material industries to discuss, share knowledge and most importantly – to network!

The Nordic region holds a huge potential for many of the critical raw materials identified by EU!

The aim of the Nordic Forum on Raw Materials is to strengthen cooperation across the mining and minerals sector to positioning the region as a role model in global, sustainable mineral production in line with vision2030 – the Nordics as the most sustainable region in the world.

As Svein Berg said in his opening remarks: “Without the mining industry there will be no green transition.”

The Forum is supported by Nordic Innovation and organized by Svemin, FinnMin - Kaivosteollisuus ry and Norsk Bergindustri.

While the Forum took place, the Swedish Presidency hosted a meeting between the Nordic business ministers to discuss how to best include metals and minerals in Nordic co-operation. The meeting stressed that access to critical metals and minerals is key to the Nordic and EU 2030 climate and digital goals.

Thanks to all our partners, speakers, the Nordic business ministers and everyone contributing to putting critical raw materials on the agenda!

How can we use open mobility data to allow planning, booking, payment and navigation of multimodal journeys across the Nordic region? 🤔

Today we kicked off a new Nordic Green Mobility and Connectivity project!

The aim of the Nordic Mobility Ecosystem unlimited project (NEMU) is to leverage the power of open mobility data to enable seamless, sustainable, and borderless travel across Nordic countries using one app and pay once.

By integrating planning, booking, payment, and navigation into a user-friendly service, the project addresses the pressing need for more efficient and environmentally friendly transportation options.

Hvis det skal lykkes, må vi få fart på deling av helsedata! Bedrifter må kunne dele data både i Norge og på tvers av de nordiske grensene. Deling av helsedata sees også som en av nøklene til å løse de store utfordringene som de nordiske helsesystemene står overfor.

Kom forbi Nordens Telt til en spennende diskusjon om deling av helsedata.

Hvordan kan vi akselerere utviklingen? Og hva gjør politikerne for å sette fart på?

Deltakere:
👉 Helga M. Brogger, MD, Seniorforsker, DNV
👉 Richard Bergstromöm, Nestleder, IQVIA
👉 Stig Arild Slørdahl, Central Norway Regional Health Authority

Vi skal høre fra to prosjekter som i disse dager tar fatt på hver sin oppgave. Det handler om å løse sentrale problemer innen person- og godstransport, utvikle mer bærekraftig mobilitet og bygge samarbeid og økosystemer som driver fram raskere endring.

Paneldeltakere:
👉 Torun Degnes, MNU (Mosseregionens Næringsutvikling AS)
👉 Kristian Gravdal, Entur AS

Vi ser fram emot att träffa er i nästa vecka!

Nordic Innovation är väl representerat med flera spännande evenemang – ett av dem handlar om elflygplan. El-flyget presenterar inte bara ett fossilfritt alternativ till dagens luftfart, det handlar också om att bygga en ny industri och ny transportform.

I samarbete med våra partners från the Nordic Network for Electric Aviation sätter vi fokus på Nordens position inom området. Just nu går det bra – men vad krävs för att vi ska kunna behålla positionen? När kommer vi att flyga med elflyg?

Kom förbi för en spännande diskussion med några av de viktigaste aktörerna inom flygbranschen.

Paneldeltagare:
Maria Fiskerud, NEA – Nordic Network for Electric Aviation
Lars Resare, BRA
Ann-Sofie Hörlin, SAS - Scandinavian Airlines
Simon Reinberth, Heart Aerospace
Meit Fohlin, Region Gotland
Lena Henriksson, Nordic Innovation

Hur stöttar vi nordiska företag i att utveckla AI-teknologi? Ska vi utveckla gemensamma nordiska språkmodeller?

Det är några av de frågor vi fokuserar på!

Paneldeltagare:
Fredrik Heintz, Linköping University
Mikael Ljungblom, AI Sweden
Giovanni Leoni, Credo AI
Louise Barnekow, Mynewsdesk
