A competitive Nordic Region
A visible and creative Nordic Region will be able to provide better jobs and living conditions, as well as stronger networks and skills development, for Nordic artists and cultural actors. Co-operation with actors in the Arctic and Baltic regions on cross-border mobility must be given central priority and contribute towards promoting the Nordic Region as a forerunner when it comes to freedom of expression and culture. The cultural and creative industries must contribute towards greater competitiveness and value generation. Nordic cultural co-operation shall, in a sustainable manner, support innovation in the development of new partnerships and business models, in addition to climate-friendly production and the dissemination and marketing of art and culture outside of the Nordic Region.
