How Nopef contributes to Vision 2030

Nordic co-operation is guided by Vision 2030, which aims to make the Nordic region the most sustainable and integrated in the world.
Nopef aims to contribute to the objectives of Vision 2030 and specifically to achieving Goal 3 of the Nordic cooperation programme for the business sector 2025–2030: Stronger regional and global market opportunities for Nordic companies.
By supporting small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in their international expansion strategies with a focus on sustainable and green solutions, Nopef helps to:
  • Position the Nordic region as a pioneer in green transition and innovation.
  • Promote the internationalisation of Nordic SMEs and accelerate Nordic exports of sustainable solutions.
  • Create synergies between Nordic companies and innovation clusters.
By financing feasibility studies for SMEs, Nopef helps Nordic companies reach new markets with sustainable products and services. The aim is to achieve faster scaling and increase exports of Nordic solutions within the green transition.
Nopef also collaborates with other Nordic institutions, such as Nefco and Nordic Innovation, and can facilitate connections between SMEs and other Nordic instruments and programmes.
By financing projects involving actors from several Nordic countries, Nopef also contributes to network effects that strengthen the innovation system and enable cross-border knowledge exchange. Moreover, Nopef encourages cooperation between Nordic companies to create integrated and sustainable value chains, which facilitates access to new markets.
