How the Nordics Can Lead Europe’s Defense Transformation
Europe is entering a new era of geopolitical uncertainty, where defense readiness and resilience are more critical than ever. While governments are increasing public investment, the public market holds the key to accelerating innovation, scaling production, and strengthening the defense ecosystem.
The Nordic region—well-known for its industrial strength, technological leadership, and dynamic capital markets—is uniquely positioned to lead this transformation. But unlocking its potential requires rethinking how we finance, procure, and collaborate. From empowering SMEs and early-stage innovators to building transparent investment frameworks, a new approach is needed to mobilize capital and drive sustainable growth in Europe’s defense capabilities.
