Nordic cooperation is more important than ever, also in business. But is it mostly on paper? Why haven’t we progressed further in breaking down border barriers? And how can the schemes and tools that already exist?

We ask managers and experts who know the Nordic countries and markets extremely well. Do they see potential for more Nordic cooperation?What is being done in practice, and what must we do more of, for a smart development of our societies and for the opportunity to achieve the Nordic governments’ joint vision of becoming the world’s most integrated and sustainable region by 2030? This conversation is relevant for both large businesses and SMEs.
