Frequently asked questions
Which sectors does Nordic Innovation currently target?
The organization runs active programs in additive manufacturing (the NAMA alliance), circular-economy automotive parts (SCAPINI), quantum technology pathways, ocean innovation and critical raw materials value chains. It also publishes strategic analyses on Nordic mining, minerals and transport decarbonization. Consumer-facing sectors, financial services and tech platforms are largely absent from its portfolio.
How does Nordic Innovation source deal flow?
Project ideas originate from a network of national innovation agencies — Innovation Norway, Vinnova (Sweden), Business Finland and Business Sweden — that Nominate consortia and co-develop calls. Nordic Innovation also runs open competitive calls for proposals and maintains a direct presence in Silicon Valley through Nordic Innovation House - Palo Alto, which funnels US-market intelligence and startup connections back to the Nordic ecosystem.
Why does Nordic Innovation keep a presence in Silicon Valley?
Nordic Innovation House - Silicon Valley, located in Palo Alto, serves as a trade-acceleration and market-access node for Nordic consortia and startups. It connects portfolio initiatives to US investors, partners and technical talent, but does not manage a US-domiciled fund or make direct investments.
