Nordens time er nu! Men hvad med om 10 år? – Nordregio at Folkemødet 2026

How do we strengthen competitiveness and resilience in a time of global uncertainty?

Drawing on recent analyses and collaborations across the Nordic region, this session focuses on how we can strengthen our shared competitiveness and resilience in a time of global uncertainty. The discussion will touch on a brand-new competitiveness report to be published by Copenhagen Economics in 2026, developments in the labour market, digital identities, as well as the latest insights from State of the Nordic Region.


The session will bring together decision-makers, experts, policymakers and practitioners for a dynamic morning, combining short, fact-based presentations with discussion and concrete case examples.


We will take a closer look at both the strengths and challenges of the Nordic model—from welfare systems and labour markets to digitalisation and business development—and ask: what does this mean for you, and where will the Nordic region be in 10 years?


The aim is to create a lively and action-oriented dialogue that looks ahead and strengthens collaboration across borders.
