The Nordic private equity market has experienced considerable development over the past few years. There has been a significant rise in capital under management, increased investment volume and a higher degree of institutionalization among leading fund managers.

A great track record, as well as several beneficial socio-economic factors, makes the Nordic region an attractive investment opportunity.

·         Strong market and fund performance

·         Stable economic growth  

·         Innovative industry clusters within ICT, energy and technology

·         Privatization

·         Consolidation within traditional consumer- and industrial goods and services

·         Deal flow from generation shifts

·         Highest Broadband access per Capita in the world

·         High levels of BNP per capita

Developing the above factors, as well as the private equity market as a whole, will further increase the region’s ability to attract private equity investors and international competitiveness. The Nordic private equity market is still comparatively young and there is much untapped investment potential.
