The Nordic NaBS project
The Nordic NaBS Project supports entrepreneurs to develop business and service models that are suitable for northern conditions such as Green Care in Finland and Grön Arena/Naturunderstödd rehabilitering (NUR) in Sweden. The aim is also to strengthen the growth of the year-round business of natural resource and tourism entrepreneurs.
Business and service models are created in cooperation with entrepreneurs who produce nature-based services, as well as health care, social work and educational actors.
In Finland, development activities are situated in the regions of Lapland, Central Ostrobothnia and Northern Ostrobothnia, as well as in Sweden, in Norrbotten and Västerbotten.
Service piloting
The aim of pilot tests is to develop nature-based business and service models for the needs of customers in health care, social work and educational services. During pilot testing entrepreneurs are producing a nature-based service to customers and actors from the public sector. The Nordic NaBS project supports pilot testing.
Regional events
We are organizing open and free workshops for the development of services, cooperation and professional skills. The free workshops have similar themes in Lapland, Northern Ostrobothnia, Central Ostrobothnia and Norrbotten and Västerbotten.
