Nordic Innovation at Almedalsveckan 2018

This year, we raise the issue of Nordic competitiveness and the role of scale-up companies at Almedalsveckan. It is the scale-ups that create jobs, contribute to the economy and the Nordic region’s competitiveness on the international market.

Scale-ups, or high growth companies as they are often called, are therefore key for the Nordic region to maintain the level of welfare we are enjoying today. So how can we increase the number of scale-ups in our region?

Make sure to write down the following two events in your calendar:

The economy of the Nordic and Baltic states – how to be competitive in the next 100 years? (June 2nd, 16.15-17.00 at the Nordic pavilion)
From start-up to scale-up: How do we create more high-growth companies? (July 4th, 13.00-17.00 at Breakits trädgård)

Food waste as biofuel – from trash to treasure

The Nordics generate about 10 million tons of food waste every year, but what are we doing with it? This topic has been subject to some political disagreements but it is also seen as key in decarbonizing the transportation sector and unlocking business potential in the Nordics.

Nordic Energy Research and Nordic Innovation joined forces at Avfall Norges annual conference to discuss Nordic solutions to waste management.
