The project Scale-ups in the Nordics – Statistical Portrait 2008-2016 has been carried out by the Nordic national statistical institutes in Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden.

The report contains the first statistics and analysis of Nordic scale-ups. The publication is based on harmonised national databases holding statistical information at enterprise level from statistical registers covering variables from structural business statistics, business register, international trade in goods and business demography.

The statistical report is an initiative under the Nordic Scalers’ programme. The programme promotes and facilitates growth among ambitious scale-up companies, strengthening the Nordic ecosystem via events, labs and a community. The ‘Scale-ups in the Nordics’ report is a part of this initiative. Read more about the programme here.
