Now in its sixth year, the awards continue to highlight innovation, growth, and entrepreneurial success in one of the world’s most dynamic and prosperous regions. Scandinavia is widely regarded as a global leader in innovation, sustainability, and economic resilience. Home to a combined population of approximately 21 million people, the region boasts some of the highest standards of living and disposable incomes worldwide. In 2023, the collective GDP of Denmark, Sweden, and Norway exceeded $1.4 trillion, underscoring the strength and potential of this market. Each country in the region brings unique strengths to the business landscape. Sweden is a global hub for technology and startups, with Stockholm producing the second-highest number of billion-dollar tech companies per capita after Silicon Valley. Denmark, known for its leadership in green technology and pharmaceuticals, continues to attract global investment in MedTech and telecommunications. Norway, bolstered by its vast natural resources, is driving innovation in renewable energy and sustainable infrastructure, solidifying its role as a pioneer in energy transition. Scandinavian businesses are embracing digital transformation, sustainability, and innovation at an unprecedented pace. In 2024, nearly 80% of businesses in the region adopted digital tools to optimise operations, while investments in renewable energy grew by 15%, furthering Scandinavia’s position as a global leader in sustainability. Scandinavian consumers also play a pivotal role, with their reputation for rapid adoption of new technologies and products.

Jul22493 5. Jul22493 In a world where people move fast and the fashion moves faster, Fjør Studios®, a female-led lifestyle brand, injects a welcome sense of luxury and Scandinavian minimalism into proceedings. The brand specialises in leathercraft, with its ranges of handbags, accessories, and clothing all being consciously made to appeal to the ethically conscious consumers beginning to buck fast-fashion trends. We caught up with Marita Hegertun Hamran, the founder of Fjør Studios, to find out more about its commitment to delivering timeless, well-crafted wardrobe essentials. Offering a sense of style that can be described as Scandi-minimalism meets creative leathercraft, Fjør Studios has been delivering well-made clothing accessories complete with a strong feminine aesthetic since opening its doors in 2013. The brand is nestled between the mountains of Norway, and all of its bags and accessories are made in cooperation with ethically conscious manufacturers in India. This reflects the brand’s overarching belief that the production of fashion should be as beautiful as the finished products. As Marita explained: “Fjør Studios’ mission is to be a positive contributor to the fashion business. We want to show a new way of producing fashion that is responsible yet traditional. Centring our design aesthetic around the knowledge of traditional leathercraft, we want to inspire living lives with fewer belongings and more quality time with people you love, as well as showing how slowing down the production cycle of fashion is healthier for both workers and consumers.” For years now, people have known about the exploitation of human beings that unfortunately remains commonplace in this industry. Priding itself on being a futureforward fashion brand, Fjør Studios follows the highest standards when it comes to every stage of production. From partnering with only the most ethically conscious factories to operating outside of traditional retail seasons – giving workers enough time to comfortably make these quality products – every decision Fjør Studios’ makes has its people at the front and centre. “Part of our production is produced by illiterate women in developing countries. This is an important part of our product segment that we hope to expand in the future, providing additional employment to women in need.” Across the business, one thing the entire team have in common, aside from their passion for ethical production, is a shared love of leathercraft. By centring the brand around this artisanal skill, Marita and co. are able to offer modern and elegant designs that customers adore. They then return time and again, something Marita believes to be down to the high-quality materials used and the streak of innovation displayed. Exploring this further, Marita told us: “Our interpretation of contemporary trends into a slow-fashion perspective makes us relevant. Conscious and ethical brands have, in the past, been known for a very traditional, perhaps plain styles. We stand out because we can offer interesting, fashion-forward designs to conscious consumers.” A big part of the brand’s ability to do some comes from Marita herself, a highly educated and experienced fashion designer once recognised with the coveted Golden Needle. With Marita’s expertise to boot, Fjør Studios is well positioned to navigate the trends of the fashion industry with the utmost confidence. Recently, these have included the increasing popularity of materials like Norwegian wool as well as the reintroduction of hand-crafted techniques into production process. Taking advantage of these, the brand has developed a new line for hand knitters, Fjør Knit, which are set to be featured on their own website. This is currently under development, with a launch planned for this August. This is just the beginning of the exciting plans in the pipeline for Fjør Studios, which is celebrating its 12th year by letting the creative juices flow further than ever. As Marita said: “Building a small brand, you always chase the most sellable items in hopes of hitting a market. But, in a very unstable world, we see the need for emphasising what our strength as a brand is. For us it has always been the creativity and knowledge of leathercraft, especially luxurious, well-crafted leather handbags. Finally, it is important to reinforce just how important the slow growth of Fjør Studios® has been to the brand’s journey. In the decade or so since staring the brand, Marita has had children and prioritised spending time with them over expanding the business. This links to the company’s foundational aim of spending more quality time with the people you love, underpinning an aligned and transformative ethos that makes this slowfashion lifestyle brand in Scandinavia a fitting recipient of this award.

EU Business News- Scandinavian Business Awards 2025 For more than two decades now, the digital sphere has been reshaping how people communicate and consume knowledge and information. Countless books have be written on how digitalisation has impacted media, with the rise in everything from fake news to the amount of content people consume on a daily basis making this landscape more unpredictable and challenging to navigate than ever before. During these trying times, readers want trusted, reliable content that is both engaging and stimulating. By focusing on the areas of digital trade media and reaching audiences through a combination of social media, high rankings on search engines, and direct digital distribution, the publications that sit under the iNEWS umbrella reach tens of thousands of people all over the world every year. The diverse nature of these brands means there is something for everyone to engage with, whether they are a business professional high up in Norwegian industry or a consumer with a passion for the latest speaker systems. Thanks to AMNYTT and Min Drift & Vedlikehold, its two primary B2B publications, iNEWS has become a recognised, everpresent voice in Nordic industry, celebrated as the information provider of choice for everyone from C-suite professionals through to the likes of engineers, technicians, and suppliers. The topics covered by both these of magazines are expansive, spanning the likes of automation technologies, sustainability, maintenance strategies, developments in industrial policy, and many more. AMNYTT is celebrating its 27th anniversary this year, with its nearly three-decade legacy as one of Scandinavia’s most esteemed trade publications within the fields of automation and industrial digitalisation making it a trustworthy resource for new and long-time readers alike. Starting out in print form, this magazine became a digitalBest Digital Industry Magazine Publisher 2025 Incorporated by visionary CEO Tom R. Mehlum in 2012 and restructured in 2017, iNEWS Media Group today comprises four digital magazines – AMNYTT, Min Drift & Vedlikehold, Stereo+, and Fotomag. Its publications cover both B2B and B2C channels, offering insights into everything from Norwegian industry to hi-fi equipment. Through this portfolio, the publisher strives to serve as a leading figure in the media landscape of not only its home country of Norway, but across the whole of Scandinavia. Below, we take a deep dive into the digital powerhouse that is iNEWS. May25148 only publication in 2012, when Tom joined as a partner (with the now deceased Jan Eirik Schiotz) with his already solid knowledge of digitalization. The brand consisting of a website, a weekly newsletter, and a full magazine that is published seven times over the course of the year. Every issue of AMNYTT is downloaded more than 10,000 times on average, with readers not only coming from more traditional channels, but also from web searches and other online activity. In fact, around half of all readers of the publication today access it from one of these latter two methods, demonstrating the success of the brand in transitioning from print to digital – all whilst continuing to build a dedicated and everexpanding reader base. On the other hand, Min Drift & Vedlikehold is a newer publication, with its first issue launching in 2018. Despite its relatively new status, the brand has quickly garnered a dedicated audience and become an essential platform for business professionals whose work relates to the fields of technical operations, energy efficiency, and facility management in the industrial sector. Across the six digital issues published every year, the magazines covers everything from practical solutions to emerging technologies. As for the last two publications that fall under the iNEWS umbrella, Stereo+ and Fotomag, the publisher’s stake in these stems from it owning 50% of Exciter AS, the publishing house behind both of these niche B2C magazines. Stereo+ is the leading digital magazine for high-end audio equipment and home cinema systems in Norway, whereas Fotomag is an equally impressive curation of knowledge and thought pieces designed to appeal to both photography enthusiasts and those working professionally within the space. Investing in Exciter AS may have been a slight departure for CEO Tom R. Mehlum – whose background is in, sales, market development, top management, and consultancy – but the ability of his team to combine highcalibre editorial content with targeted digital distribution has seen both publications go from strength to strength since he and Haavard Holmedal founded it in 2014. Beyond overseeing the growth and development of these magazines, Haavard and Tom also spearheaded campaigns to raise brand awareness and boost their online standings. This was achieved through the leveraging of both social media channels and SEO, two areas iNEWS focuses on to maximise visibility and engagement across the entirety of its portfolio. The success of these initiatives hinges on the ability of the team to evolve alongside both the platforms they utilise and the preferences of those they attempt to engage with. It was this level of understanding that led to the company recognising the benefits of digitalising AMNYTT in the first place, intuition that continues to serve it well. “Our publications reach both a technically proficient core audience and a broader industrial segment. This makes iNEWS a valuable media channel for both editorial outreach and industryspecific advertising.” Outside of its publication portfolio, iNEWS is also immensely proud to be a co-owner (via Exciter) of the Oslo Hi-Fi Show, an annual event that sees everyone from key industry

The publisher’s journey into this field highlights an ability to partner with those in different areas of industry and still deliver the remarkable outcomes it is famed for. Ultimately, all of this points to one overarching conclusion: iNEWS does much more than simply produce great content – it is an industry hub that bridges technology development and knowledge sharing with practical application. Be it adapting its provisions to the changing needs of long-time readers or supporting wider digitalisation efforts across Norway and beyond by setting an example for others to follow, everything that this publisher does is geared towards ushering in a better and brighter future for media.

At its core, the Activenorth team takes immense pride in offering carefully curated, personalised tours that ensure each guest experiences the magic of Norway’s wilderness. “Our wish is to give our guests a chance to experience the beauty of Norway,” said Tomas, “while being together with their friends and family, or alone to create new friendships. Our guides are there to teach and help our guests enjoy their trip. Together, as a team with our guests, we create memories that last a lifetime.” Founded with a deep commitment to supporting its local community, Activenorth actively upholds this commitment by partnering with nearby shops and businesses to foster mutual growth. As a familyowned business, the company values the strength of a thriving local network and actively collaborates to build a sustainable and supported community. Dedicated to quality over quantity, Activenorth strives to establish itself as a trusted, intimate brand – ensuring that its products align with its strong, unwavering values. Activenorth offers a range of Arctic adventure experiences, expertly tailored to provide small groups with personalised and intimate tours designed to be remembered forever. Its services include dogsledding safaris, allowing guests to ride with Alaskan Huskies through the stunning Arctic landscapes; snowmobile safaris, inviting guests to explore the snowy wilderness on guided snowmobile tours; and fullday packages that combine dogsledding and snowmobiling to provide guests with the full Arctic experience. “We are located two hours from Tromsø, which gives our guests the chance to see the region on the ride to our camp,” Tomas told us. “Our selling point is the wild nature; the nature sells itself, with the beautiful landscape that surrounds us. We also provide local products to our guests, crafted by locals with lots of experience and love for our work. That is what we think are the main reasons that guests choose to experience a part of Northern Norway with us.” Best Family-Run Arctic Adventure Company 2025 – Northern Norway A term first coined by Condé Nast Traveler in late 2023, a coolcation is an emerging trend defined as a trip to a destination with a cooler or temperate climate. Often chosen to escape rising heatwaves and overtourism, coolcations are certainly on the rise – and expected to only grow in upcoming years as the effects of climate change continue to impact the world around us. One company currently championing the refreshing revolution of coolcations is Activenorth, a family-run business based in Skibotn Valley of Northern Norway. We heard more from Tomas Nyheim Lambela below, Owner of Activenorth, as the company is recognised in the Scandinavian Business Awards 2025. It is for exactly this reason that Activenorth has risen as a leader in its field – the company works tirelessly to provide each guest it serves with an authentic taste of true Northern Norway. In fact, Activenorth has established itself as a go-to destination for tourists seeking a refreshing coolcation jampacked with unique and memorable experiences. This is demonstrated in the sheer volume of glowing testimonials, left by guests eager to return to the company named Northern Norway’s Best Family-Run Arctic Adventure Company 2025. One guest wrote: “I had an amazing sledding trip with Activenorth a few days ago. The trip was very well organised; the guides were great at giving instructions and gave us plenty time for photographs with the dogs, and the trip ran very smoothly. The views across the valley and frozen lake were spectacular. It was a once in a lifetime experience – I would highly recommend Activenorth.” While one said: “From the stunning scenery, the great food and service, and amazing dogsledding experience, this is not a trip to be missed. The drive from Tromsø is along beautiful fjords. We were able to meet the dogs and drive our own sleds through the forests, as well as riding snowmobiles. Tomas was accommodating, and everything was provided. We would definitely recommend!” Another reported: “An unforgettable experience with Activenorth! From the first moment, the owners made us feel at home: friendly, attentive, and very professional. We went on a dogsled tour and another on a snowmobile, and everything was spectacular. The dogs are very well cared for, they are affectionate, and you can tell that they are treated with a lot of love. The landscapes are brutally beautiful, like pictures from a postcard. Lunch was a treat too! We really enjoyed it and will definitely be back. Highly recommended!” And a final guest commented: “This warm, family-run business offers snowmobile and dogsledding adventures that are of a superb standard of quality. Tomas Nyheim Lambela and his gorgeous family are handson with all activities and are generous with their time and knowledge. They take care about the little things, such as clean, warm clothing, well-maintained snowmobiles, and healthy, cared-for huskies. Not to mention the amazing area that includes woods and a trail bordering Finland, Norway, and Sweden.

I would definitely return for more adventures.” Such shining comments are a testament to the passion that the Activenorth team brings to their craft. More than just a business, Activenorth is a true reflection of Tomas and Charlotte’s deep-rooted love for Arctic adventures – whether navigating snowy landscapes on a snowmobile or bonding with their beloved huskies on the trail. This enthusiasm has naturally passed down to their children, who now compete in dogsledding races, just as Tomas and Charlotte have done countless times before. At its core, Activenorth isn’t simply about offering experiences; it’s about sharing a lifestyle driven by passion and authenticity. This philosophy extends beyond the guest experience and into the heart of the team itself, ensuring that everyone who joins Activenorth truly embraces it passions and values. This is what truly drives the success of Activenorth – a team of wholly dedicated individuals sharing the same passion and vision of excellence. “Our goal with Activenorth is to be able to enjoy and keep our hobbies, while giving work to people that also love both dogsledding and snowmobiling,” Tomas explained. “The team at Activenorth is a combination of hardworking people that take good pride in their work. It’s important for us that the team have a good time at work; if you like your job, then you care about it. When you enjoy the work you do, it shows outwards. This shows in our team.” Looking ahead, Activenorth has a number of exciting plans in the pipeline for the remainder of 2025 and beyond. For the upcoming season, the company will have a dog kennel up at the camp all winter for its huskies, bringing them much closer to the guests. This proximity will allow for much closer connections between the guests and dogs, as well as providing guests with more in-depth education on the dogs, the activities, and the work being done at Activenorth. Alongside this, Activenorth also aims to utilise the ever-popular aurora borealis in its offerings. The company has noted that many tourists opt for bus tours when chasing the aurora, but this year, Activenorth intends to strengthen the marketing of its preexisting evening Northern Lights tours. Additionally, there are plans to develop a dedicated Northern Lights camp, where guests can watch the spectacle in a more immersive setting. Ultimately, Activenorth is a company dedicated to sharing the breathtaking beauty of Northern Norway with the world. Through its exceptional services, the company has not only fulfilled its mission but surpassed expectations – from its offerings of unforgettable excursions to its warm-hearted hospitality. For this, Activenorth has firmly established itself in the minds of both its local community and guests from around the world, earning a global reputation as a premier provider of authentic Arctic adventures.

EU Business News- Scandinavian Business Awards 2025 Best Sustainable Disinfectant Manufacturer 2025 The climate crisis is advancing, devastating every corner of the globe. From rising seas and depleting reefs, to melting glaciers and burning forests, climate change is becoming increasingly visible and irreversibly damaging. The time for change is now, yet many individuals and organisations are not fulfilling their responsibility to the world by engaging in sustainable practices. Norsepure is a company striving to make the world better by introducing disinfectant products that are both sustainable and effective. We spoke to CEO Tor Petter Eriksen below, to learn more about Norsepure’s exceptional environmental endeavours. Based in Karmøy, Norsepure is a pioneering GreenTech company established in 2023. On a mission to protect our environment, the company delivers innovative and proven solutions designed to support businesses in meeting strict environmental and regulatory standards while enhancing operational efficiency. Norsepure was established with the aim of tackling the impacts of climate control through its services and places a particular focus on disinfection for all. Unsafe water sources lead to millions of annual deaths worldwide, making disinfection a topic of unquestionable importance within the sector. Safe drinking water is a vital right for every individual in the world, although this goal has been difficult to achieve. Pathogenic microorganisms must be destroyed for safe drinking water, which very commonly involves the use of reactive chemical agents such as chlorine. Chlorine disinfection, however, has proven ineffective against protozoan pathogens and various virus, and also results in the formation of harmful chemical by-products. “Our mission is to provide 100% sustainable, effective, and sciencebacked disinfection technologies that improve water quality, hygiene, and biosecurity while reducing environmental impact,” Tor explained. “We believe that industries can operate efficiently without compromising the health of people, animals, or the environment. Our technologies enable businesses to meet the highest hygiene and environmental standards while reducing their dependency on harmful chemicals and sustainable practices.” “It’s all about the present future.” To promote safe disinfection, Norsepure has developed and launched Freebac – a powerful, 100% sustainable disinfection solution promising to improve hygiene standards across all sectors. This product enables the company to cater to a range of industries, including aquaculture, municipalities buildings, food production, livestock, agriculture, and shipping. Freebac is born from a complex formulation designed to destroy microorganisms and remove biofilm, using hydrogen peroxide as an active disinfectant. Unlike other silver-based stabilised products, Freebac is stabilised with a gel that uses only food safe ingredients in the production process. This cell activates and opens only during contact with specific biological markets, meaning that the hydrogen peroxide is only released when and where it is necessary. What’s more, Freebac does not contain silver or any other heavy metals and degrades to oxygen and water, making this product the most sustainable, green alternative. “Time is of the essence. The world cannot afford to wait for another ‘perfect solution’ or remain complacent in the face of growing environmental and regulatory pressures. Industries must act now to embrace sustainable practices, reduce their environmental footprint, and futureproof their operations. We want businesses to understand that waiting is no longer an option. Norsepure is here with solutions that are not only effective today but will help companies thrive tomorrow.” In a market saturated with hygiene and disinfection solutions, Norsepure stands out by offering 100% sustainable, highly effective technologies that are science-based and go beyond traditional methodology. The company does not merely provide products – it delivers real and measurable impact that helps businesses to improve hygiene, water quality, and biosecurity whilst reducing environmental harm. Rather than focusing on effective short-term solutions, Norsepure takes a long-term perspective that aids businesses in future-proofing their operations against risks such as pathogen outbreaks, antibiotic resistance, and environmental contamination. In terms of the future, Norsepure has its sights set on expanding its presence and increasing its impact on the market. The company is steadfast in its commitment to educating organisations and ensuring that implementing sustainable business practices does not come at a cost to the environment. Looking ahead, Norsepure has a number of ongoing projects set to redefine industry standards by eliminating outdated, polluting practices and replacing them with truly sustainable, cost-efficient solutions. “We see 2025 as a pivotal year, not just for Norsepure but for several key industries,” Tor informed us. “This year will mark a shift from nonsustainable operations to fully sustainable and efficient practices. Businesses that adopt these solutions will not only reduce their environmental footprint but will also benefit from cost-savings, improved regulatory compliance, and better operational efficiency. For too long, industries have relied on methods that claim to be effective but have only contributed to environmental harm. We are here to change that.” Contact: Tor Petter Eriksen Company: Norsepure AS Web Address: www.norsepure.com AIS-Apr25004
