of the extensive EU measures3 to revitalize the European economy. Keeping the European and global value and supply chains intact is a prerequisite for a revitalized Nordic industrial sector. Investing in the citizens and companies of other EU-countries not only contributes to stability but also gives economic returns in the long run as it contributes to stimulating growth and demand. Additionally, the Nordic cooperation should strive for promoting trade through diplomacy. The Nordic countries are all together each other’s biggest trading partners. These intense trading relations can be further strengthened through targeted measures by the Nordic embassies, focusing on counselling companies who want to export to or invest in other Nordic countries. And lastly, we could all benefit from and contribute to establishing a Nordic Green Transition Forum. The Nordic Council of Ministers should play a role as a platform to gather industry leaders, thought leaders, academics and social partners to investigate opportunities for collaboration, share insights and turn best practices into joint Nordic efforts. Together, we can succeed in engineering our way out of the crises!
