Nordic countries possess exceptional AI talent but lack coordinated global positioning to compete with Silicon Valley and China. This initative addresses this by creating a systematic and unified Nordic AI & Quantum node that will work as a fast track to accelerate the access to forefront innovation and global markets.
Building on the expertise, networks and experiences of Automation Region, the Nordic innovation agencies individually and collectively together with SwenodeAI's proven track record will connect Nordic companies with Silicon Valley expertise.
The project will scale successful programs across all Nordic countries while creating an unified front for transatlantic collaboration opportunities in silicon valley. The project addresses critical fragmentation in Nordic AI & Quantum capabilities, combining them into a coordinated force that can compete globally while maintaining distinctive Nordic values and the unique strongholds of the Nordic innovation agencies while also staying true to the commitment of sustainability and ethical innovation.
The project will showcase the current opportunities for the Nordic companies to utilize the network and offering of SwenodeAI, Nordic Innovation House and the different innovation agencies locally in the USA.
Through a strategic NVIDIA partnership, the Nordic AI and Quantum companies will get the chance to showcase, connect and create tangible partnerships with AI forefront actors from all over the world visiting the largest applied AI conference in the world at Nivida GTC 2026.
