Our industry-led tracks
In its first year, Nordic Compass will focus on four strategic areas that require an ambitious uplift if the Nordics are to strengthen competitiveness and resilience globally. Across each area, the alliance will focus on concrete, joint Nordic initiatives and public-private partnerships that can be implemented in the near term.
While the four tracks are closely interconnected, each will focus on the following aspirations for each of them:

Capital
Markets
To scale more companies and startups within the region by offering more risk capital through further Nordic capital markets integration.

Defense
To enable an intelligent and innovative regional defense and preparedness industry protecting our Nordic societies and providing solutions for our allies.
Deep
Tech
To position the Nordics as a global frontrunner in AI, quantum technologies, and sustainable high-performance compute infrastructure by translating deep tech capabilities into real-world solutions.

Energy
To accelerate an integrated Nordic energy system that is price competitive and leading in resilience, sustainability, and smartness.

Track Leadership
Each of the four Nordic Compass tracks is led by a Track Chair and a dedicated Track Lead, supported by a broader team bringing together expertise from business, technology, policy, and investment.
