Cleantech for Nordics was launched at Cleantech Capital Day in Oslo on October 25th.

Cleantech for Nordics is a coalition of investors and others seeking to closely engage with policymakers to ensure that the Nordic region becomes a global hotbed for cleantech innovation, jobs and economic growth. Our objective is to remove costly barriers and uncover new opportunities that can develop and grow the cleantech sector. Cleantech for Nordics aims to pioneer globally competitive industries that can slash carbon emissions, while also increasing energy security across the Nordics and Europe more broadly.

Cleantech for Nordics is supported by Breakthrough Energy and powered by Cleantech Scandinavia.

“The Nordics are among the most innovative economies and already punch above their weight in the cleantech space. The potential to create new success stories and scale up innovative solutions has never been greater, but will require more coordination between innovators, investors, corporates, and public decision makers in support of emerging clean energy solutions,” says Julia Reinaud, SeniorDirector at Breakthrough Energy.

Cleantech for Nordics is part of Cleantech for Europe, a European-wide network and initiative that aims to bridge the gap between cleantech leaders and policymakers.

“The Nordics are home to many of Europe’s cleantech pioneers, in sectors like batteries, electric vehicles or green steel. This new initiative will give a common voice to this promising ecosystem, and allow it to scale even faster,” says Jules Besnainou, Executive Director at Cleantech for Europe.

“With the coalition we are bringing 15 key players in the Nordics, on a mission to unlock the cleantech growth potential. We have high ambitions for the Cleantech ecosystem and hope to inspire other actors to join our initiative,” says Magnus Agerström, Managing Director at Cleantech Scandinavia.

Cleantech for Nordics is supported by Breakthrough Energy and powered by Cleantech Scandinavia.

Breakthrough Energy was founded by Bill Gates in 2015 to accelerate the clean energy transition and help the world reach net-zero emissions by 2050. Through investment vehicles, philanthropic programs, policy advocacy and other activities, Breakthrough Energy is committed to scaling the technologies the world needs to meet its climate goals.

Launched in 2021, Cleantech for Europe represents the trailblazers developing, deploying and investing in clean technologies across the EU. Our mission is to make cleantech a strategic priority in the EU, by bridging the gap between cleantech and policy leaders. The initiative equips policymakers with insights about cleantech and builds coalitions to chart a new path for the continent.

For 15 years Cleantech Scandinavia has been a trusted source of cleantech-related investment opportunities, business intelligence and investment statistics in the Nordics. Our exclusive platform of Nordic and Baltic cleantech companies offers a unique opportunity for our international community network of investors, industrials, real estate companies, cities, service providers and the public sector.
