Launch: State of the Nordic Region 2026

Launch: State of the Nordic Region 2026

State of the Nordic Region offers an overview of regional development trends across the Nordics. It highlights developments across three broad themes: demography, labour market, and economy. The report combines statistics, maps, and analysis. It sheds light on shared challenges, opportunities, similarities and differences across the Nordic countries, regions, municipalities, and cities. The 2026 edition takes stock of how demographic change, population ageing, migration, labour market dynamics, and structural economic changes are reshaping the Nordic Region. It also examines how regions build resilience and respond to external pressures such as geopolitical uncertainty, growing demands on critical infrastructure, and multiple overlapping transitions.
