About the conference

The Northern Dimension (ND) is a joint policy between EU, Russia, Norway and Iceland. The ND Policy was initiated in 1999 and renewed in 2006.

The policy aims at providing a framework to:

  • promote dialogue and concrete cooperation;
  • strengthen stability, well-being and intensified economic cooperation;
  • promote economic integration, competitiveness and sustainable development in Northern Europe.

The policy covers a broad geographic area, from the European Arctic and Sub-Arctic to the southern shores of the Baltic Sea, countries in the vicinity and from north-west Russia in the east, to Iceland and Greenland in the west.

The Northern Dimension Business Forum is organised on a yearly basis and traditionally gathers participants representing Russian and European ministries, agencies, regional authorities as well as business community and civil society from the Northern Dimension area.

  • Northern Dimension Business Council (NDBC)

    The initiative of creating NDBC and its concept was approved at the Northern Dimension Senior officials’ meeting in Stockholm on November 12, 2009.

    The Co-Chairmen of the NDBC are Alexey Mordashov, Chairman of the Board of Directors of PAO “Severstal” on the Russian side and Rolf Jansson, President and CEO, VR Group, from the European side.

    The purpose of NDBC is to involve and integrate companies be a part of the Northern Dimension policy, so that these companies could achieve competitive advantage through their active participation in NDBC work.

    It is important that both the companies as well as authorities at all levels share the view that the business organizations can bring value added to the Northern Dimension policy, and that their viewpoints are notified. The fundamental idea of NDBC is that the competitiveness of any region in the world is based on trust between government and business; with a clear division of tasks, rights and responsibilities between business and government.

    The goals of NDBC could be summarized as follows:

    NDBC is a platform for interaction, experience-sharing and networking between companies.
    NDBC ensures that the view of business community will be taken into account in developing the Northern Dimension policy.
    NDBC is a platform for the dialogue between business and government structures.
    The practical work of the NDBC is carried out in working groups, which all have co-chairmen representing European and Russian companies.

    NDBC collaborates closely with other organizations aiming at improving business climate in the Northern Dimension area, such as EU-Russia industrialists’ Roundtable and the Association of

    European Businesses (AEB).

    All companies regardless of the country of origin are welcome to join the NDBC meetings – the only criterion is interest towards participating in efforts improving the investment climate in the Northern Dimension area.
