Selection criteria

To qualify for consideration, a candidate cleantech company must be unlisted and from the Nordic region (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden). To build the final list of 50, companies will be evaluated for their potential and likelihood to achieve high-growth and high market impact, using the following main criteria:

• The Innovation: Problem it solves; Uniqueness; Sustainability of the advantage; etc.
• The Market: Accessibility; Size; Growth dynamics, Accessibility / barriers to entry, etc.
• The Ability to Execute: Finances; Team competences; Connections and networks, etc.

It is important to note that the list will not rank the 50 in order, and will, to the degree possible, consist of a variety of cleantech segments and growth stages across the Nordic countries.
