Scandinavia´s historical track record of innovations such as the cooperative movement, renewable energy industry, welfare- and educational systems built on a foundation of values such as equality, social responsibility and care have so far transformed Scandinavia into one of the world’s most competitive regions due to top scores on parameters such as ethics, cross-sectoral cooperation, creativity, adaptability and economic wealth.

Some believe that Scandinavia has the prerequisites to play a leading role as the world’s sustainable innovation champion. That a further cultivation of these social innovations, values, know-how and strengths in the DNA of Scandinavian culture and industries can be utilized as a global competitive strategy.
