2nd Annual Forum: From Partnership to Deployment: Scaling Nordic Climate Solutions in India and Beyond Tuesday, 19th May 2026 Oslo, Norway Format: Roundtable & Conference (In-person)

Access: By Invitation Only

Overview

India’s climate transition is no longer constrained by ambition—it is defined by execution at scale. With multi-sectoral targets spanning energy, water, waste, mobility, agriculture and industrial decarbonisation, the opportunity is clear: translate proven solutions into deployable, bankable programmes.

The India–Nordic Development Initiative for Climate Action (INDICA) is designed as this execution bridge—bringing together technology providers, investors, institutions and policymakers to move from dialogue to deployment.

Why INDICA

Nordic countries are global leaders in climate technologies and systems innovation. India represents one of the largest climate transition markets globally.

INDICA aligns these strengths through a structured pathway that integrates:

Technology validation
Localisation for Indian conditions
Project development
Capital structuring
Market deployment and scale

The objective is simple: build a pipeline of bankable projects and scale them across India and the Global South.

What This Forum Delivers

High-level India–Nordic strategic alignment
Institutional capital mobilisation frameworks
Live deployment pipelines across key sectors
Announcement of 20+ partnerships and projects
Formation of long-term execution alliances

Key Themes

India–Nordic Climate Ambition Aligning governments, institutions and industry on a shared pathway for large-scale climate action.
Structuring Capital for Scale Moving from capital availability to deployable structures:
- InvITs and listed vehicles
- Blended finance and guarantees
- Risk allocation (FX, policy, offtake, construction)
Deployment Pipelines – Energy - Renewable energy (solar, wind, storage)
- Green hydrogen and derivatives (eMethanol, SAF)
- Biogas and bioenergy
- Hydropower
- EV infrastructure and charging networks
- Data centres
Deployment Pipelines - Environment - Water and wastewater systems
- Waste management
- Agriculture and soil systems
- Nature and ecosystem restoration
- Oceans and green maritime
- Digital systems and AI
India + Nordics + Global South
Scaling beyond India through structured replication pathways (GSTACK).

Who Attends

A curated delegation of 20+ senior leaders across:

Government and policy institutions
Climate technology and industry
Infrastructure and project developers
Investors, banks and financial institutions
Legal and regulatory leadership

Sectors represented include energy, water, agriculture, infrastructure, transport, nature, digital systems and climate finance.

Strategic Outcomes

INDICA is not a conference—it is an execution platform. Core outputs include:

Standardised investment and risk frameworks
Model capital structures for scale
Sector-specific investment pipelines
Ongoing roadshows and deployment programmes
Annual summit and execution roundtables

About INDICA

INDICA was soft-launched in Oslo in June 2025 and is being formally advanced through the 2026 Forum during the India–Nordic Summit. It serves as a structured platform to scale climate solutions from partnership to deployment, with replication across the Global South.
