Nomadic

This week, Nomadic had the privilege of participating in the NordicBTA Summit 2026, bringing together industry-leading decision‑makers, innovators and partners from across the Nordics.

Our CEO Carsten Østberg and Commercial Director - Nordics Mikkel S. Wismann presented their session "Beyond the Visa: Navigating the New Era of Cross-Border Business Travel" and welcomed valuable dialogue shaped by key themes:

✅ Compliance as a cornerstone - organizations are navigating increasingly complex travel programs, making consistent and reliable compliance frameworks more essential than ever.

✅ Integration as a competitive advantage - the most effective travel ecosystems now rely on seamless integration, connecting policy, data, content and technology to deliver clarity and control.

✅ Collaboration across borders - the Nordic community’s commitment to shared perspectives and cross‑border cooperation remains a powerful engine for progress.
