A Nordic industry alliance
The world is facing a new economic reality. Geopolitical tensions have intensified, trade frictions have multiplied, and new technologies are disrupting and replacing businesses at record speed. In the Nordic countries, we must utilize our societal, innovative, and industrial strengths jointly and in new ways to pool resources, invest in innovation, and build the next generation of industries together.
Nordic Compass is an industry alliance gathering more than 25 leading companies and foundations across the Nordics. The goal is to identify, implement, and scale concrete initiatives and public-private partnerships across critical sectors. This will be done in close dialogue with governments of the Nordic countries and in collaboration with industry associations, interest organisations, and other stakeholders, building on existing initiatives and efforts to ensure broad anchoring, alignment, and complementarity.
Inspired by the Draghi report, the ambition is to contribute to positioning the Nordics at the forefront of global competitiveness and resilience, thereby contributing to boosting competitiveness for Europe at large.
