Nasdaq Leads Nordic Compass Initiative for Regional Integration
Nasdaq is spearheading the Nordic Compass initiative, a collaboration among major Nordic businesses to enhance regional integration in capital markets, defense, deep tech, and life sciences. This initiative aims to strengthen the Nordic economy, currently the 12th largest globally, by promoting alignment among the Nordic markets and demonstrating a model for broader European cooperation.

Launched in May, the Nordic Compass initiative involves Nasdaq leading the capital markets workstream to foster collaboration among Nordic corporations and industry groups. The initiative aims to create a more integrated and competitive Nordic region, addressing the fragmentation seen in Europe.
With Nasdaq operating seven exchanges in the Nordic-Baltic region, its involvement underscores the importance of capital markets in supporting company growth and the overall economy. The collaboration includes four priority areas: capital markets, defense, deep tech, and life sciences. Efficient capital markets are essential for broader participation in economic growth, and enhancing Nordic cooperation could provide a blueprint for future European integration.
