Introduktion

The Western Partnership Programme supports projects that bring Nordic and Western partners together to share knowledge, develop new ideas, and build lasting collaborations across borders and sectors.

The Western partnership programme supports projects within two focus areas

The focus area of Innovative Synergies

Strengthens knowledge exchange with a focus on developing innovative solutions to shared challenges in northern regions. This includes promoting creative problem-solving, new technologies, and innovative practices that benefit both the Nordic countries and their key western partners.

The focus area of Northern Connectivity

Enhances North-to-North cooperation among stakeholders across the Nordic region, northern Canada, and Alaska, with goals of strengthening mobility, networking, and exchange.
