Bjørk Innovation is entering a strategic partnership with Nordic Edge to strengthen innovation capacity and accelerate the development and scaling of smart and sustainable solutions across the Nordic region.
The collaboration connects Bjørk Innovation’s strong position at the intersection of public sector and academia with Nordic Edge’s extensive Nordic business network.
Together, the partners will create a stronger bridge between public sector needs and private sector solutions, enabling faster pathways from idea to testing, piloting, and market implementation.
For Bjørk Innovation, the partnership expands its innovation ecosystem and strengthens its ability to support municipalities and public organizations, particularly small and medium-sized municipalities, in moving from identified challenges to concrete, scalable solutions.
For Nordic Edge, the collaboration provides deeper access to public sector demand and research-driven innovation processes, creating new opportunities for businesses to test, refine, and scale solutions in real-world settings.
The shared ambition is clear: more effective public–private collaboration, faster innovation cycles, and stronger Nordic solutions positioned for both national and international markets.
— The major societal challenges we face require closer collaboration between public authorities, academia, and business. This partnership strengthens our ability to turn needs into solutions and solutions into impact, says Thor Moen, CEO of BJØRK Innovation.
The partnership takes effect immediately and will be implemented through joint initiatives, projects, and collaborative arenas across the Nordics.
