Nikolai Nordbotn is the new Head of Partnerships at Terravera Foundation

Nikolai Nordbotn officially took on the role of Head of Partnerships on August 1st. The Rogaland native has already gotten off to a strong start with his new responsibilities.

As a leader at Ada Tech Incubator, Nikolai Nordbotn has helped many Norwegian startups bring their ideas to life. He emphasizes the importance of entering the market quickly so that customers can help shape the solution and increase the chances of success. He inspires startups to think globally from day one and to recognize opportunities beyond Norway’s borders for growth. “If you have a scalable solution and truly want to grow, there’s no reason to stop at Norway’s borders,” Nordbotn says.

"Together with the rest of the team, we are very pleased to welcome Nikolai Nordbotn to Terravera. With his solid experience and understanding of business development and scaling, he will be a key resource for us. We look forward to the opportunities he will unlock and the value he will bring to our work with sustainable solutions," says Elisabet K. Bøe, CEO of Terravera.

Nordbotn explains his choice to join Terravera this way: “Sustainability is no longer a choice – it is an expectation. Too often, I see sustainability, like internationalization, become just a decorative slide in presentations, something added because it has to be there. By integrating Terravera’s technology, we can document real sustainability and build trust, providing a clear competitive edge both in sales and in raising capital.”

In addition to his strong commitment to growth strategy and internationalization, Nikolai is passionate about ensuring companies have the right tools to achieve success. “We are building a growth engine where, together with the companies, we set the stage for global growth, focusing on strategy, culture, sales, and sustainability – but first and foremost, on the people,” he explains.

Terravera warmly welcomes Nikolai Nordbotn and looks forward to strengthening our work with sustainability data, growth, and international success.
