Nordic Collaboration NordForsk actively funds and facilitates Nordic research collaboration with a broad network across Nordic and Baltic states, presenting opportunities to offer regional partnership programs, collaborative grant management, and consortium-building services to expand their impact.

Strategic Partnerships Recent and ongoing multi-national funding calls involve major global funders (NSERC, DFG, JST, UKRI-EPSRC, NSF), indicating a readiness to engage with international partners; potential sales focus on research management platforms, grant lifecycle support, and international collaboration coordination.

Digital Enablement NordForsk uses a mix of Drupal, WordPress, Mailchimp, Microsoft 365 and analytics tools, suggesting openness to modernization, content, and outreach solutions, as well as security/compliance enhancements for grant publishing and stakeholder communications.

Leadership Transition New director Johnny Mogensen appointed in 2026 may drive strategic shifts and new priorities; opportunity to engage through executive-focused outreach, thought leadership partnerships, and tailored value propositions aligned to the new leadership agenda.

Funding Scale With a modest revenue range and a clear role as an independent institution under the Nordic Council of Ministers, there is potential to offer grant administration, impact measurement, and transparency reporting services to optimize fund allocation and Nordic value delivery.
