— Strategy & roadmap

Norway first. Then the rest of the Nordics. Then the EU.

A public plan, written so customers and partners know exactly what they're buying into. We update this page when the plan moves.

What we're building, in one paragraph

Nordic Data is the data layer that joins every public Norwegian (and soon Nordic) registry on the organisation number. One REST API, one MCP server, one drop-in widget, one browser extension — same data underneath. We compete on real-time freshness, depth of registry joins, transparent pricing, and being the data product that AI agents call directly rather than the data product that humans book demos for. The buyers are technical: developers building KYB / onboarding UIs, KYB platforms missing Norway coverage, sales teams running outbound into the Nordics, AI agent builders.

Five operating principles

— Principle 01

Self-serve everything

No sales calls to get an API key. No annual contracts. Pricing on the website. Cancel anytime. If a customer can't onboard themselves, we have a product problem, not a sales problem.

— Principle 02

Honest comparison pages

Every vs-X page lists categories where the competitor wins. The benchmark page lists five segments where we explicitly recommend a different vendor. Lying about competitors gets ignored in Norway.

— Principle 03

Free tier is permanent

5,000 requests per month, no card, no expiry. The free tier funds itself: a fraction of users upgrade, the rest are free advertising every time they call the API.

— Principle 04

EU-only infrastructure

All processing in Vultr Amsterdam. No US data transfer. No CDNs that resolve through US PoPs. Compliance posture is a product feature for our buyer.

— Principle 05

Agent-native by default

Every REST endpoint has an MCP tool wrapper. Every new feature ships with its MCP tool annotation at the same time. We assume the consumer is a Claude/Cursor/Continue agent unless they tell us otherwise.

Roadmap by phase

What's already in production, what's being built right now, and the next 12 months. We ship things before they're polished; the polish lands in the second pass.

Now Shipped (1.0)

Norway — every registry joined on the org number

  • Brønnøysundregistrene: every Norwegian company, real-time event feed (< 5 min lag), name + address + status + NACE + officers + signatures
  • Aksjonærregisteret: annual shareholder snapshot, recursive UBO chain
  • Doffin procurement: live tender notices + contract awards, joined on supplier orgnr (including sub-EU-threshold municipal tenders that TED never sees)
  • Sanctions screening: EU + UN + OFAC consolidated, screened on company + every officer in one call
  • EU R&D grants: Horizon Europe + EIC, joined to Norwegian recipients via PIC-VAT-orgnr chain
  • 4-layer contact enrichment: lifts named-executive fill rate from 23% to 81% on the top 5,000 Norwegian companies
  • 28-tool MCP server: listed on Smithery, mcp.so, PulseMCP
  • CLI, Forms widget, Chrome extension: three product surfaces on top of the same API
  • ● shipped
Q3 2026 Building

Sweden, Denmark, Finland — Nordic expansion

Same architecture, four new countries. Each has its own primary registry (Bolagsverket / CVR / PRH), shareholder registry, and procurement source (TED for above-threshold; national portals for below). Most schema work is reusable; the per-country adapters are 1-2 weeks each.

  • Sweden: Bolagsverket + national procurement, joined on Swedish org number
  • Denmark: CVR + udbud.dk procurement
  • Finland: PRH / YTJ + Hilma procurement
  • Unified search across all four countries by name, VAT, or LEI
  • One Nordic Data API key works for every country
  • ● building
Q4 2026 Building

Adverse media + politically-exposed-person screening

The biggest gap our current AML offering has versus dedicated KYB platforms like Strise. Adds a media screening tool (`screen_adverse_media`) and a PEP database integration. Reuses our existing 4-layer enrichment infrastructure; the new layer is media indexing.

  • Norwegian press archive ingestion (Atekst, Retriever, Mediearkivet)
  • EU and global PEP database (proprietary sourcing)
  • Risk scoring that combines registry + sanctions + adverse media in one call
  • ● planned
Q1 2027 Planned

Marketplace distribution

The browser extension is the bridge product. The real distribution is the platform-specific OAuth integrations in each Nordic accounting/ERP marketplace, with native install UX.

  • Tripletex Integration Marketplace (live integration with OAuth)
  • Visma App Store ISV listing
  • PowerOffice Go partner program
  • 24SevenOffice and Fiken marketplaces
  • Estimated combined reach: ~800K Nordic businesses
  • ● planned
Q2-Q3 2027 Planned

Northwestern Europe — Netherlands, Belgium, Germany

Larger markets, same playbook. EUID (European Unique Identifier) becomes the cross-border join key. We continue to index national-language news archives for the adverse media layer.

  • Netherlands: KvK Handelsregister + TenderNed
  • Belgium: BCE/KBO + e-Procurement
  • Germany: Handelsregister + eVergabe (begin coverage; full coverage is multi-year)
  • ● planned
2028+ Long-term

Full EU + UK

27 EU members + UK as the long-term aspiration. The technical model is the same as Norway; the per-country effort is the registry adapter, the language model for press archives, and the procurement adapter. The economic question is whether each country pays back the per-country engineering cost.

  • Self-serve country activation: customers ask for a country, we prioritise by demand
  • Open contract for any EU government dataset (we don't compete with national registries; we make them queryable)
  • ● planned

Customer pull determines priority. If you need Nordic Data to cover a specific country and have real volume, the conversation moves the roadmap.
