Great interest in the Nordic region in Davos
There is considerable interest in the Nordic Region and in how the countries have coped with the financial crisis this week when representatives from politics, business, international organisations and the media meet at the annual World Economic Forum in Davos. The Nordic Council of Ministers contributed to the Davos meeting with the publication The Nordic Way.

Good contingency planning, lessons from previous crises mixed with great confidence in the state with its institutions and a large portion of individualism. These are the conclusions from the authors of The Nordic Way, to which the Nordic Council of Ministers has contributed in co-operation with Global Utmaning, Investor and the Norden Association. This week the heads of government are present in Davos and the publication The Nordic Way, which has drawn attention recently in the Swedish media, will provide input to discussions on global challenges.
Later this year the Nordic prime ministers will meet at the Globalisation Forum 2011. They will exchange new ideas which can be turned into concrete projects to further strengthen Nordic co-operation. Its aim is to provide the Nordic prime ministers and other participants with inspiration and useful ideas in the light of the opportunities and challenges posed by globalisation.
