Cooperation between the countries of the Baltic Sea region – including the Baltic and Nordic countries, Poland, and Germany – has become increasingly close. These like-minded allies, now all part of the NATO Alliance, are building a new regional core, leading the support for Ukraine, and working together to counter hybrid threats in the Baltic Sea region. The Baltics and Nordics are also among the world’s leaders in digital innovation and emerging technology, including drones, quantum, 5G/6G, space, and artificial intelligence.
