The project,\u00a0<em>Nordic Innovation Ecosystem Mobilisation<\/em>, is commissioned and funded by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nordicinnovation.org\/\">Nordic Innovation<\/a> and sets out to map, benchmark, and strengthen startup ecosystems across the Nordics.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Read also:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/smartinnovationnorway.com\/en\/nyheter\/social-science-meets-energy-innovation-in-the-dedalus-podcast\/\">Social science meets energy innovation in the DEDALUS podcast<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-strong-partners\">Strong partners<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The consortium brings together six organisations that are themselves active parts of their national innovation ecosystems \u2013 not external analysts, but organisations with years of accumulated domain knowledge and established relationships across government, academia, capital, and industry \u2013 also bringing unique strengths into the project:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sisp.se\/en\/\">SISP<\/a> (Sweden):\u00a0Nordic coordination and overall project management, system-level insight, policy relevance.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/smartinnovationnorway.com\/en\/\">Smart Innovation Norway<\/a> (Norway):\u00a0Overall contractual responsibility, financial administration,\u00a0governance\u00a0and coordination towards Nordic Innovation.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/techbbq.dk\/\">TechBBQ<\/a>\u00a0(Denmark):\u00a0Direct access to startup, scaleup, investor, corporate, and international innovation communities.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/maria.io\/\">Maria 01<\/a> (Finland):<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>The Nordics\u2019 largest startup hub, contributing with strong international networks and\u00a0facilitating\u00a0collaboration across startups, investors, corporates, and ecosystem actors.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/klak.is\/en\/\">KLAK \u2013 Icelandic Startups<\/a> (Iceland):\u00a0Insights from a small, highly connected ecosystem with rapid feedback loops and high international exposure.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/startupestonia.ee\/\">Startup Estonia<\/a> (Estonia):\u00a0National startup ecosystem development, strong public\u2013private coordination, and deep experience in digital governance, scaleup policy, and international talent attraction.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The mix is intentional. Rather than bringing in outside&nbsp;expertise, Nordic Innovation has assembled a group of organisations that already sit at the centre of their respective ecosystems \u2013 and that brings a different kind of value to the analysis.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-new-analytical-framework\">A new analytical framework\u00a0<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The project applies an updated, startup-centric model of the Quadruple Helix framework, extended with two\u00a0additional\u00a0stakeholder groups to form more of a \u201cHexuple\u00a0Helix\u201d \u2013 reflecting the full range of actors shaping how startups\u00a0emerge, grow, and scale in the Nordic region. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each country is analysed across six dimensions: Policy &amp; Governance, Finance &amp; Capital, Research &amp; Knowledge, Innovation Support, Industry &amp; Corporates, and Startups &amp; Scaleups, covering the full journey from pre-seed to unicorn.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Nordic and Baltic countries each have genuine strengths in innovation, but we rarely look at ourselves together as a coherent region. What makes this project different is that the analysis is being done by organisations that live inside these ecosystems every day. Each partner brings a level of contextual understanding and trusted access that no outside consultancy could replicate. We are not just mapping the Nordic innovation landscape \u2013 we are mobilising it,\u201d says Ellinor\u00a0Bokedal, Project Manager and Policy Director at SISP.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-results-to-be-presented-at-techbbq-in-august\">Results to be presented at\u00a0TechBBQ\u00a0in August\u00a0<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The project&#8217;s findings \u2013 including a\u00a0consolidated\u00a0Nordic ecosystem overview,\u00a0identified\u00a0systemic gaps and leverage points, and a prioritised coordination architecture for future cross-border collaboration \u2013 will be presented at\u00a0TechBBQ\u00a0in Copenhagen in August.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/smartinnovationnorway.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Alma-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-29357\" style=\"width:400px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/smartinnovationnorway.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Alma-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/smartinnovationnorway.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Alma-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/smartinnovationnorway.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Alma-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/smartinnovationnorway.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Alma-1-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/smartinnovationnorway.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Alma-1-12x12.jpg 12w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Alma Sandberg, Senior Social Innovation Developer at Smart Innovation Norway.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/techbbq.dk\/\">TechBBQ<\/a>, itself a consortium partner, is one of the Nordic region&#8217;s most significant gatherings of startups, investors, corporates, and ecosystem builders, making it a natural stage for results aimed at mobilising the region&#8217;s innovation actors.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn a world that is becoming more fragmented and unpredictable, the Nordics have a real opportunity to show that deeper regional cooperation is both possible and powerful.
