Summary
Nefco, a Nordic green financing institution, is seeking expressions of interest from consultants to conduct a comprehensive study on the Nordic Sustainable Blue Economy. The study aims to map and evaluate companies and solutions across Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, the Faroe Islands, Greenland, and Iceland, with emphasis on small-to-medium enterprises and technologies at various development stages. The analysis will also include a review of Blue Economy funding programs and regional best practices. This is a consultancy procurement rather than a traditional grant program. The selected consultant will receive a budget of EUR 60,000 (excluding VAT) for a 4-5 month engagement starting in May 2026. Applicants must demonstrate experience in sustainability and impact assessments, ocean sector expertise, understanding of Nordic SME financing, and knowledge of emerging technologies.

The submission must include company profile, relevant project experience, project manager CV, and proposed team composition. The project manager must have a minimum of 8 years of experience managing Nordic/EU assignments.
