"We wanted to gather impulses and came back from our Innovation Safari with a changed mindset. A 3-day trip to Copenhagen has come to an end, which was so full of inspiration and methods that we came back home euphoric."
Thorsten Bambey

"Our Innovation Safari was a powerful reminder that other countries and cultures are striving to improve by embracing bold decisions and learning from mistakes. Seeing Bolt’s customer-centric approach was truly inspiring—it showcased the impact of designing with a clear focus on connectivity and user needs. This experience deepened my understanding of leadership, digitalization, and the value of maintaining focus, while reminding me that sometimes all we need is a little more courage to move forward."

Why Nordic Connective?
The Nordics and the “New Nordics” — also known as the Baltics — are Europe's innovation hotbeds, renowned for their forward-thinking approaches, vibrant startup ecosystems, and groundbreaking ideas.
In 2018, as a German building a network in Copenhagen, I was struck by the unique innovation culture here in the Nordics. The way people collaborated, thought creatively, and embraced change felt truly special—something I knew other countries could learn from. Around that time, I read The Medici Effect, and everything clicked: innovation thrives at the intersection of diverse perspectives, and I wanted to share this experience with others.
That realization led to the creation of Nordic Connective. The name reflects what we do best: connecting organizations with the innovators, forerunners, and like-minded peers of the Nordics and Baltics. Through tailor-made Learning Expeditions—our so-called Innovation Safaris—we create transformative experiences that inspire fresh thinking and meaningful change.
Taking clients out of their usual office environments, we guide them through structured processes that foster creativity, collaboration, and innovation. Our clients often praise our ability to meet people where they are, moderating discussions that resonate with participants at all levels and unlocking their potential to think differently.
With an amazing network spanning Europe’s most innovative regions, we know how to bring the right people and resources together to create real impact. At Nordic Connective, we don’t just connect organizations to new ideas—we connect them to experiences that transform perspectives and unlock new possibilities.
In essence, Nordic Connective embodies my personal journey and mission: to build bridges between visionary regions and organizations, inspire collaboration through transformative experiences, and foster the kind of exchange that drives lasting change.
