Status and participation 

The network is currently in its establishment phase. The focus at this stage is on building a strong and committed core group, aligning expectations and ways of working, and identifying the first concrete collaboration opportunities.

We are actively recruiting core partners and members across the Nordics, particularly innovation hubs, clusters, testbed operators and scale-up environments that want to engage hands-on.

As the network matures, a clear and visible partner structure will be introduced, reflecting roles, contributions and level of involvement.

Charter

Purpose 

To accelerate cross-border collaboration in agrifoodtech through testing, scaling and project development in the Nordic region. 

Focus areas: 

Nordic market entry and collaboration 

Shared testbeds and pilots 

Project and funding mobilisation 

Participants 

Innovation hubs, clusters, testbed operators, scale-ups and selected enabling partners from across the Nordics. 

Governance and operations 

The network operates with a lean governance model, led by a small steering group representing founding innovation hubs and clusters. In the initial phase, coordination and facilitation are carried out by Nordic Edge Agritech Innovation Cluster. Operational costs are covered through a shared contribution model, alongside active pursuit of project-based financing through Nordic and European funding programmes. 

The model emphasises peer-to-peer collaboration, transparency and operational flexibility, with a clear focus on concrete outcomes.
