Stockholm, Sweden – Nordic Bridge Partner AB (NBP), a Nordic-African strategic advisory and partnership facilitation firm headquartered in Sweden, has announced plans to welcome a high-level delegation from the Small and Medium Enterprises Development Agency of Nigeria (SMEDAN) to Stockholm for a four-day Executive Peer Review, Innovation and Bilateral Trade Study Tour. Nordic Bridge Partner operates across Sweden, Finland and Nigeria, supporting partnerships in education, capacity building, trade facilitation and institutional collaboration.
The forthcoming engagement follows productive discussions between both organisations and reflects a shared commitment to strengthening Nigeria-Sweden cooperation in enterprise development, innovation, international trade and MSME competitiveness.
The study mission is designed to provide SMEDAN’s leadership with direct exposure to Sweden’s globally recognised innovation ecosystem, entrepreneurship support structures, trade facilitation frameworks and institutional best practices. The programme will feature strategic engagements with public and private sector stakeholders, innovation hubs, business networks and members of the Nigerian diaspora business community in Sweden.
Key focus areas will include MSME internationalisation, export readiness, access to European markets, technology transfer, investment partnerships and institutional capacity strengthening.
According to Nordic Bridge Partner, the initiative aims to move beyond traditional study visits by creating practical pathways for collaboration and business growth that can deliver measurable outcomes for Nigerian entrepreneurs and enterprises.
“Our ambition is not simply to facilitate knowledge exchange, but to build sustainable institutional relationships that connect Nigerian businesses to Nordic expertise, international markets and long-term investment opportunities,” the company stated.
Nordic Bridge Partner has established a reputation for connecting African institutions with Nordic expertise through executive education, capacity-building programmes, strategic partnerships and trade facilitation initiatives. The organisation is also the exclusive Africa partner for Stockholm School of Economics Executive Education.
The planned visit represents another step in advancing stronger economic and institutional ties between Nigeria and Sweden while supporting the growth and international competitiveness of Nigerian micro, small and medium-sized enterprises.
Nordic Bridge Partner expressed appreciation to the leadership of SMEDAN for its confidence, engagement and shared vision, and reaffirmed its commitment to delivering a programme that creates meaningful value for Nigeria’s enterprise ecosystem.
